Default Air con condenser shedding fins?!

As title really, When i was poking about cleaning the front bumper and grilles the other day, i noticed that the bottom 3 or 4 rows of my condenser have a bit of an issue.. The fins have seperated from the cooling tubes and blown out of the back, leaving a dangly concertina of aluminium behind the condenser itself.

Has anyone else seen this happen or is it maybe just a random bit of bad luck? my air con still works fine but it's just a bit puzzling how it's had it's guts blown out?

Pretty common - a search will reveal a few threads.

I've seen a few threads on this, not an issue just chop off the dangly bits, the air con on the S is well over spec so I wouldn't worry till there are at least 30% gone.

I must confess, the search didn't even enter my tiny mind!

Will have a look at the other threads though
