Also not sure about the restricter in the old unit or if the new type uses a thermostat??

Brilliant, thanks for that, i'll certainly go this way when my cooler will start leaking, and i'll fit one like this Cast Iron - Steel Radiator - Self Bleed Valve Screw / Vent 1/8" Chrome Auto | eBay there

May not even need the bleed function as the heater matrix and top hose bleed screw is going to be higher then the cooler and it's going to be different then the D2a, I think the cooler is at the top of a closed loop section of pipe so wouldn't get bled by the top hose screw?? Where as with this mod the air should bleed out through the heater??

And if following the bleed procedure by lifting the expansion tank I'd think it's unlikely to trap air in the cooler??

Exactly the D2a has the fuel cooler at the top of a closed loop hence the need for a bleed screw, if you mount the cooler as described earlier this wont be the case

Mine was leaking when I first got the car, $10 later, it's been leak free for 3 years.
