As I understand it there are many members running long term with the oil cooler bypassed with no negative effects but, it is there for a reason, possibly to assist when constantly working hard or towing a heavy trailer etc.
They can certainly be disconnected to prove a cause of a fault with no ill side effects.

Just bypass it using household copper pipe and some jubilees. It's not needed in our climate.

If that were true Tim, MG Rover would have fitted it only to export vehicles.
