Right, i know that C20LeT's have oil coolers as standard. But im looking at getting a Mocal one.

I take im going to need the oil cooler a sandwich plate all the fixings and a thermostat of some description. Could someone point me in the direction of where i can find all this stuff

Found this:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MOCAL-13-ROW-OIL-COOLER-KIT-CALIBRA-TURBO-2-0-16V_W0QQitemZ150121403251QQihZ005QQcategoryZ10404QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

But it appears not to have a thermostat so would be useless for road use woulnt it?

Are there any other companies out there that do a complete kit as such?

That is FAR too expensive mate

I have a sandwhich plate with no thermostat (cost £25)

a 10 row oil cooler (cost £21)

and the custom pipework is being made by a local business (for £20)

A sandwhich plate with a thermostat is better, im going to have to use 5w/30 when i install mine.

surely without a thermostat the oil will be too cool for normal use?

Thats right

Go have a look which one you have. The one with top pipes is better

Having the pipe connectors on top is better as most aftermarket ones are like this....meaning you can upgrade the cooler but keep using your orignial pipes.

If you have pipe connectors on the sides of the rad than you might need to adjust your pipework to accept an aftermarket rad.
