Technical 500L Radiator Change - How to?

[Carlw2005]

Does anyone have any experience of changing the radiator in a 500L 1.4 petrol?

Ours is leaking and have been quoted ~£400 for changing, however I can source the part for ~£150. Is it an easy job? or does the car need to be up on a ramp.

Any useful how to guides or tips would be appreciated,

Cheers,
Carl

Probably not many who have done it but I'd imagine the basic process to be something like This
Front bumper off drain coolant
Remove all hoses temp sensor fan connectors ect
The either remove rad with fan attached or remove fan first depends on the design of it
