I am having trouble finding a new power steering oil cooler for my 07-09 tdv8.

Spoke to a guy at Maltings 4x4 and he said no one is making it anymore so they have no stock - handy.
Part number on their site is LR048086.

Who are the best / most trusted breakers of these cars?

Or is it an eBay lottery job?

I have a leak from one of the high pressure aluminium pipes that runs down from the cooler.

Bonus question for you all - is there a safe way to do an oil cooler delete? Or is that a bad idea? 2009 pre-facelift 3.6 TDV8.

Personally I'd just buy an aftermarket cooler core and get Pirtek to make up some suitable connecting pipes. 2012 (L322) 4.4TDV8 Vogue SE, RSE, Fuji White over Arabica.
Previous V8s: BMW 645Ci, P38 4.6, P38 4.0, Merc CL500
Previous others: Honda x1, Volvo x7, Rover x6, BMW x6, Ford x1, Mercedes x2, Skoda x3, VW x2, Renault x2, Citroen x1, Mazda x3, Nissan x1, Audi x3, Kia x1, Fiat x4, Subaru x3, Austin x2, Triumph x2, Jeep x2, Hyundai x2, Lexus x1, Mitsubishi x1, Saab x2... and some others I've forgotten!

Ok thanks. I think my cooler is fine, just needs replacement pipes.

Guess the front end has to come off? 2009 pre-facelift 3.6 TDV8.

I would guess so, but I'm not familiar with the 3.6TDV8 layout so couldn't say for sure. 2012 (L322) 4.4TDV8 Vogue SE, RSE, Fuji White over Arabica.

Great thanks.

First one is correct, but they don’t ship to the UK! 2009 pre-facelift 3.6 TDV8.
