Anyone done one of these? I wondered if it's a DIY job or should go to an expert.

With both water and oil going through it i'm a little concerned about fluid levels.
 
It can be done Diy .. a bit messy though and it depends on how corroded the fixings are .. i think from memory they are torx bolts .

You would need to clamp the coolant pipes .

You wont loose much oil but you will on the coolant .. no big deal but airlocks can happen .. rare but possible .

I would tend to disconnect the grey electric valve so that its permanently open to help bleeding it .

At work we use a tester to open it for this part .

At the end of the day i always say if your unsure or not happy then get a garage to do it.
