Update:

So - a few pics of the area where the oil cooler should go and also of the new metal pipe (thanks again ainarssems ):





Pulled the front engine mount off and it made the process soo easy:


So now all fitted




Filled the engine up with new oil (and fitted a new oil filter) - added around 8 litres of water (wasn't going to use antifreeze) and ran it for around 20 minutes with no loss of coolant

Will flush the coolant tomorrow and add the anti-freeze then put the front end back on and see how we go.

Cheers
