Wouldn't bother local. Merc are usually cheaper but jeep quoted me about $350 just for cooler.
I found it was only one way also . oil into water no water in oil. Had too flush rad a few times , but ended up with no oil left in there. Did it in situ also.

It's the same brand as Europarts SD too.

Going to call the local MB parts place to see if they have the seal available. Just so I can be prepared, does anyone know the engine model number in MB language? Wiki tells me it's a OM612. Thanks.

Update; Don't worry about that, the MB guys say there's a few varieties of that engine so they needed more detail which I can't give them. The cooler part number is a Jeep number which they can't relate to. I gave them the MB part number of A6111840280 for the seal and they were happy with that and have one in stock for $7.55. Very happy with that price so I'll be picking it up this morning and then ordering the cooler from OS shortly after. They did find the correct cooler based on the seal but price was $370 so declined that offer. I've placed an order with RockAuto for the cooler at $44USD and opted for expedited shipping at $33USD (standard only $12USD), pretty good pricing all up. Hopefully they all mate together with no issues.

If it all goes together, perhaps update the "everything 2.7 CRD" thread with the part numbers?

For sure.

As to flushing out the cooling system, my cooler won't turn up until later this week. I'm thinking it would be a good idea to flush out the system before I install the new one. To do this I'd drain the current coolant/oil, refill with water (filtered) and degreaser, then run motor for say 15 minutes, allow to cool sufficiently to then drain again, and repeat 3 times before draining to install new cooler. Any reason to not do it before the new cooler is in? I understand there is currently a leak between oil system and coolant system but it appears to be a one way leak. So possibly I'm better off not taking that risk and just draining the existing coolant/oil before replacing the cooler. Happy to hear others thoughts on it.

Be careful with the choice of degreaser. What will it do to hoses and seals?
