Is there anything I need to be careful of etc?

Thanks.

Not particularly...just dont break any plastic parts that you need or the aircon rad...its a pretty simple job to do though...make sure you refill the tank with 50/50 antifreeze...

Undoing and temporarily removing the multi-ram ducting (not difficult) makes it considerably easier to get at 'things'.

The metal 'spring clips' that retain the radiator in the side support rubbers and grooves may be rusty/stuck; they will come of with a bit of careful pulling.

If it`s an auto.; be careful not to lose the four, copper washers on the cooler-line banjo unions.

Getting to the (two) thermo-switches and the rear-fan motor to undo the electrical connectors, can be a real knuckle-grazer.

technically  ...... you didn't actually lose yours, you just didn't think to look in the most obvious place.

Unless your pipes were leaking before hand, or you were just very very very lucky that you managed with a washer missing on each pipe, look for a copper washer stuck to either the other side of the banjo or behind the head of the hollow bolt.

there's a copper washer on each side of each banjo fitting ie 4 washers for the 2 banjos  It wouldn't seal otherwise.

The cooper washer must be attached the bolt then as it wasnt free lol
