Great i think I'll replace with a steel oil cooler, now to find a suitable one on eBay...

Re: 2.5 prestige on gumtree
Should be easy to find. Go for one with decent depth (height), rather than one of the very thin ones for small engines. I think these were made in at least a couple of depths. Centre tubular 'bolt' will be needed to match; thread is M20 for both the engine flange and the normal filter.
A serviceable rectangular-section filter O-ring will also serve for the underside of the cooler, as diameter is the same.
Water connections may need jiggling if not in the desired orientation.

Re: 2.5 prestige on gumtree
Hoses usually need extending with bends to fit.
While I agree that cleaning out after a failure requires quite a bit of work I still let the originals run on.
I think Chris has been very unlucky to experience two failures on his single car.
The problem as far as I can see is from variable quality of manufacture rather than severe in service degradation.
So I pressure test before reusing recovered ones.
