David,
As far as the oil cooler, remove the air cleaner/flow meter hardware from the right side of the engine. You can then access the cover on the air cooler to undo the air cooler retaining nuts. Follow Bentleys as far as removing the tin on the side and back of the engine to access the lower oil cooler nuts. You can then pull the oil cooler out to clean and renew the seals. It took me 5 hours total, and I'm not particularly handy. The oil pressure switch is easily replaced using a mirror to locate it, then removing with an appropriate socket. This is a 30min job. The thermostat oring is replaced after undoing the two nuts holding it in place. Again, I used a mirror to locate them. This took about 2 hours. This may all sound somewhat un-macho, but in practice it's very easy and just requires a little patience. After doing all of this, as well as replacing my oil return tubes, I once again had a leak-free engine again.
Good luck!
