Fuel cooler radiator PIB500120 replacement
Not long after getting the Antichrist in 2017 we found a leak in this little beast (9N103B) :

I looped it out, and it has remained so ever since, but we have some extended van towing in hot weather coming up and so I'm now gearing up to replace it. Does anyone have any tricks, or is it going to be a case of dismantle the front of the car to get to it?
I figure as it sits in front of the condenser I *might* be able to wiggle things back enough to get to it, but I've not stripped that part of the car down any further than has been required to replace the horns, so I'm after a "this is how deep you'll need to go" so I can prepare myself and allocate sufficient time and beer.

Any luck?
Hi Brad.
I know this is from quite a while ago, but did you manage to do this?
Ours has split and I'm bypassing it for now.
A new one is on back order with JLR and I've no idea if or when we'll ever see it. Right now, JLR in the UK are consolidating 18 distribution centres in to 1. It's chaos. You just can't get JLR parts anywhere.

I have a new one sitting in a box waiting for me to install it. We've managed without it for 5 years now and I've kept a close eye on fuel temps. I figure given it's optional on so many cars it can wait.

Cheers for that.
I can't see the point of having one either, so I was hoping that if I did want to replace it, it would be something I could do myself, instead of throwing money at our garage. Surprisingly, there really is nothing I can find anywhere on 'how to', so clearly something hardly ever done.
