Hmmm ...
Going by the Euro seems to have escalated prices on just about anything in France & Germany.
Being in a neighbour country, I've seen prices on car spares in Germany went of into the sky and would anticipate it's not much different in France.

Why not search under car tuners or similar and see if anyone makes a similar after-market one? - or try for a scrap one. I think you will find they generally don't fail unless damaged.

have you thought about trying an aftermarket oil cooler? mostly fitted to modified performance cars etc, they are around £100 generall i think, they come with a universal fitting kit. maybe even Allard Turbo systems could make one up for you?

This company are based in Norfolk, they are Breakers who also supply new pattern parts.
The secondhand stuff is a little pricey, and they have caught me out on occassion!![:(!]
Oh that'll be £60 mate!
That seems reasonable.[:)]How much did you say that was again??
£60, plus the VAT.
Perhaps they should have quoted me with the VAT before I sweated my proverbials off, removing said item from the car!!!![:(!][:o)][V]
