Did one where, the top portion of the thread on the oil cooler had gone, meaning it wouldn't do up without inserting the banjo bolt to use to pull the oil cooler up. Then the nut would reach the good section of thread. Not had the nut itself sheer personally, but I've only done 3. I guess I'm due ... ;D

Yeh, not had the nut shear but the nut does tend to take the oil cooler threads with it.

So the safe plan is to just bite the bullet :-X and get an oil cooler kit and replace the lot..that way your pocket smarts for a while but it all goes back together the same day it is removed.

Either way car is unsuable for 1 day as need to let the "goo" go off

Should add, I was able to use this one, via the pull up with banjo bolt method. :)

If your still after one I have a nearly new cooler kit.  I'll have to check if it has the nuts though as I can't remember.
Let me know and i'll  dig it out to check.
