Are you losing coolant? Check the dipstick for mayo. Could be oil cooler :-/

Sounds like the oil cooler has gone to me. I wouldn't use it until it has been replaced.

is it a big job to change the oil cooler or is it something that can be achived at home?

Easy enough at home if your competent with the spanners, the cooling system can take some time to clear of oil.
