Its not too bad a job there are a few videos on YouTube for the mini equivalent a bit fiddly and there is a pipe that runs at the back of the engine that if dislodged is a pig to get back in.

Its also worth noting that the seals in the banjo fitting on the Turbo coolant pipe from the block are another big suspect for leaks on the RCZs prince engine !
I would only buy the dealer part because from experience I know that some aftermarket parts will fail as they came without the electrical connection upgrades needed to wire them in especially on the 207 GT

Yep I changed mine for a aftermarket one which has failed after 12000ish miles I am now preparing to fit a original PSA part as the old saying goes buy cheap buy twice is the rule when it comes to these engine's
