These people are X-Part agents and they post worldwide. I bought mine from them.

Use the official method of removing the plastic manifold chamber and one of the aluminium inlet manifolds for full access and a reliable result. Remove the fixing screw and carefully lever only under the bracket. Don't use the hose connections to remove or refit the parts. Lubricate and renew all 'O' rings, available separately, part no. CDU3858. Tighten the fixing screw to the specified torque. Move the serrated clips fully outwards and squeeze them tight. Follow the official refilling and bleeding procedure involving raising the expansion tank (you did do this before didn't you?).

Yes. Your fuel consumption will be high and the oil won't reach the optimum temperature which will hasten engine wear.
