Could anyone please advise me as to wether I can remove the radiator on its own or is it remove slam panel and remove the pack.

Easiest way is to drop all 3 radiators straight down (after getting the AC gas recovered first of course .) then separate them .No need to take the top panel off .

Hello
4 months ago i have replaced both of my radiator and inter-cooler.
There are 6 bolts holding the rad inter and ac cooler together. 4 that cross the 3 and 2 that holds them to the frame.
What i did was i took the tubes out and i jack them under just to hold them in place after i remove all the bolts. Radiator is the first one so if they are jacked under its easy. But be prepared to play a little because those way in and out on the inter cooler are big so you have to ply with the rad.
But its easy. i didn't had to touch the top panel

Hope it helps
