LR025985 - Land Rover Condenser/fan & frame assembly

Land Rover Defender Air Conditioning Condenser Assembly – LR025985

LR025985 is the complete air‑conditioning condenser assembly used on later Land Rover Defender models, including the 2007–2016 Puma diesel Defender, as well as earlier Td5 applications where this unit superseded the previous condenser/fan module. It forms the primary heat‑rejection stage of the vehicle’s A/C system, condensing high‑pressure refrigerant vapour into liquid as airflow passes through the condenser matrix. The assembly includes the condenser core, electric cooling fan, and mounting frame, supplied as a single integrated unit for direct installation.

Constructed with a high‑surface‑area aluminium heat‑exchange core and paired with an electric fan, LR025985 ensures adequate cooling airflow across the condenser at low road speeds or high thermal load. The steel mounting frame positions the assembly ahead of the radiator stack, aligning it with the front grille’s airflow path to maintain refrigerant pressures within the correct operating range. The unit is designed as a direct replacement for the earlier condenser assembly JRB000051, JRB100850, and JRB000050, which LR025985 officially supersedes in the Land Rover parts catalogue.

Replacement of LR025985 is typically required when the condenser fins become corroded or blocked, the electric fan fails, or refrigerant leaks develop from stone strikes or age‑related deterioration. Installing a new LR025985 assembly restores proper refrigerant condensing efficiency, improves cabin cooling performance (particularly at idle) and ensures stable high‑side A/C pressures, preventing compressor strain and extending overall system life.
