I have had a coolant leak for several months that has got bad enough that I need to do something about it.

I have ordered a cheap radiator online, but I will also need new O rings and parts I haven't thought of. Has anyone done a radiator change and if so do you have part numbers and details of what parts will need replacing?
Any How-To links would be welcome as well as I couldn't find anything relevant on youtube.

It's a shame you hadn't mentioned the leak before ordering a new one I've got 3 spare ARL rads in my workshop.

To access it you'll need to remove the entire front end / slam panel as it's sandwiched between the twin fans, intercooler and a.c. condenser.

It's not difficult but quite time consuming as so much has to be unbolted to get to it.

Yeh, I saw you had 3 of them for sale on ebay and nearly bought one as I knew they would fit my car, but figured if Im going to the hassle of taking the front off the car I would spend the extra cash and get a new one which will hopefully last the life of the car.
