I'm afraid not. In the end I picked up an aircraft oil cooler (it is lovely!). The standard ones do go and are quite rare unless you buy new (which is relatively expensive). Try ebay (!), although most Jag coolers that come up on their tend to be XJ40. You could try scrappers, but you'd be lucky to find a good one. We did buy another car (scrapper) since we last spoke, but the oil cooler had been damaged.

back on topic...

Yes a problem on older engines. The equivelent seal on the XK engine allows this.
