Unfortunately, my problem isn't the O rings, but the intercooler. Somehow the locating mounts have broken off allowing it to move.

I've just been for a test drive and the difference was immediate, until I put my foot down. I heard a pop as the elbow came out of the intercooler and saw lots of black smoke again. I had tried to secure the intercooler with cable ties, but obviously it wasn't enough. 
Does anyone have any recommendations for a replacement intercooler? I have seen some new ones on ebay, but I'm not sure of the quality. Otherwise I shall be asking Mickyboy for his assistance again!
Thanks,

Hi Rob.
How did you find that the intercooler locating mounts have broken? are you referring to the locating mount either side of the intercooler, to the connecting point that the plastic bends fits to the radiator photo's below.
The area marked by orange dots here the condenser is still in situ.

This photo shows the condenser removed again marked by red dots, note the three red dots is that the bracket that as broken? or the intercooler locating pegs them selves.
Two the side of the intercooler pipe entering & one the other side
