Oil cooler - aluminium part has arrived.
Just to embellish my previous post, I was suffering from a permanent coolant loss, not massive amounts but I've probably filled it with 2 containers of antifreeze since I've had the car - which was purchased 3 years ago now.
My car is booked in at the local garage when I can get time off work. I do suspect that it is the oil cooler but this will have to be confirmed when the grease monkeys get the car up on the ramps and have a good look.
Will keep everyone posted. The aluminium part I ordered from the chap in Austin, Texas turned up this morning and looks very good quality indeed (see attached photo.) I though that I'd try and kill two birds with one stone with this approach.
