Air con pipes

Can you tell me if you need to take the body off to replace the ac pipes that run from the front to ac unit in the back of the car?

Try a search, theres a few guys who have got mobile a/c guys to replace the lot in a/c flex pipe.

Other way is to buy the bypass pipe so you have no rear a/c, it fits in the engine bay.

Have you found the leak? most common ons is the pipe running under the sill, about 160 quid.

Interesting my Indy in Milton Keynes says it can't be done and wanted 2.5k to take the body off to fix it,that's why I asked the question.

Does anybody know of a good ac person in the Milton Keynes area?

Newbury 4x4 quoted me about £500 parts and labour to do the front and rear pipes for the rear aircon (they did the middle ones earlier in the year). They say it can be done with the body on but it is fiddly.
