If so, can you re word the question as it doesn't make sense...to me at least!

Ok, so you want to go from the long barrel/tube style cooler, to the square type as used in the late production td5s?

And I seriously don't know what the thermostat and spring are!

The tube type cooler has a thermostat in it, useless IMO, i converted my 10P to the square type cos the thermostat in mine was fubar too and blocked the flow

Thinking of just putting a later cooler in. Wondering what needs to be done to convert to the later one?

First of all read this thread New type fuel cooler retrofit there is a scheme at the end corroborate it with the coolant flow scheme from RAVE
i post some pictures which helped me doing it, i wasnt smart enough to make a tutorial

Thanks for that,I seriously did not know that!

I do know a guy that removed the cooler/heater altogether though, and claimed it isn't necessary...I'll let the readers decide what they think of that.
