Easy job, take an hour max but dont rush incase u damage the fins no the new rad. No real tips except remember to reconnect the fan.

Look for a diesel one if your getting an XE. Though this one will be fine if you can't find one.

I normally leave the plug open, start the car with a hose in the header tank. Gets a constant flow of water running thu. Squeezing the hoses a bit helps.
