If its not too complicated, will have a go at fitting myself.
Thanks Paul.

Found this on Ffrr it seems a relatively easy job for any home mechanic
..remove plastic under tray, disconnect transmission*oil*pipe assembly and two coolant pipes. Catch fluids in suitable containers - I actually clamped off both coolant pipes to minimise losses. Remove 4 bolts securing*cooler*to block and remove. After re fitting new unit transmission*oil*will need topping up. Oh and new O rings should be fitted to transmission*oil*pipes/cooler*coupling. Took me about 3 hours,not rushing. Hope this helps.
