Hi also I would look at the engine mount on the right hand side under the front pulley, it may look good but if you remove it and look on the sub frame if it needs changing there will be a outline were the rubber from the mount has been hitting the sub frame, ,

The intercooler I bought was brand new and £88 delivered (Ebay) and took me about 2.5 hours to swap in total. That's less money than a tank of fuel and less time than the new poxy Mamma Mia film (so I'm told) It's a bit of a no brainer when you look at it like that! |

Makes sense, I don't have the confidence to do the intercooler myself but I've a very good specialist that I use so I'm going to get it booked in soon. I had the complete swirl throttle replaced a couple of weeks ago, apart from the intercooler, I've a small wiring repair to do on a couple of the injectors which I can DIY. I love the car and spend a lot of time in it so don't mind spending a bit to get it all working as intended.

The thing to remember is to not try to cut corners to save time. If there's something in the way that you can 'just about' get past ... sometimes it's easier to just remove the obstructing part and continue easily rather than struggling to work around it. My own personal tip .... and I use this frequently in my motorcycle restoration business. When you take the car to bits ... put the bolts in two separate containers. One container is for the left side of the car, one is for the right. You'll be amazed how much easier reassembly is!! |

Good tip, but I've fairly recently taken to threading fasteners back into their place to aid in not losing them and knowing where they go. Only takes a couple of seconds and no chance of knocking them flying out of a box. (the old grey matter's not as sharp as it was, used to just go from memory on even the bigger jobs)

The intercooler is definitely one of the easier jobs.
I prefer the from below method meaning no bumper/lights removal.

Questions A) using your below method, do you remove the slam panel, the fan housing and can the radiator bolts be excessed easily? - Does the coolant need to be drained? And I take it, that the splash guard underneath the radiator pack, has also to be removed. I have a stand up pit in the garage, which I think would assist in using the below method of IC replacement.
