I bought an 2000 XJ VM and it has many of the problems that occur when the care recommended in this thread is not given.

Radiator is full of mud and rust.
Head gasket coolant leak.
Leak in the intercooler hose causing loss of boost pressure and possibly the reason for oil in the intercooler. Turbo is leaking oil too.

Mechanic has suggested to work on the issues with the front end to begin with. Get the radiator cleaned out and inspected before thinking about replacing it.

In the meantime I've just been onto PRW radiators (Queensland) and they gave me a rough quote of $925 for a new rad and $250ish(? foggy memory) for an oil cooler (280x189x37mm 21row, Part No: PWO5931).

Just thought it'd be worthwhile posting here about it in case anyone had any pearls of wisdom to impart about it.
