Thanks a lot for the replies. Being a newbie, may I ask the following?
1: After the collision, the AC was still working okay. The front has now been taken off. The visible damage is on the coolant radiator at the front and that's where the coolant leaked out from. There's a gouge in the middle a couple of inches from the bottom.
Based on that, would it be safe to take the risk on the AC condenser and re-install it, or should I go for a patent? I guess worst case scenario would be not having AC for a while and then having to undo the whole lot to change it? Any other expenses I need to keep in mind?
2: As for the intercooler, I’ve located these patent one on eBay with 2-year warranties. One has the sensor and one doesn’t. I’ll check mine (Car’s parked 15 miles away atm) to see what mine is like. Do these look okay?

The Volvo ones are very steep and considering they are known to go as well, I’m thinking to go patent, especially seeing that I am a light vehicle user. What do you guys think?

3: I’ll try the breakers for the coolant radiator then. However, I from all the searching I did through eBay listings, I couldn’t find any differentiation between petrol and diesel or auto and manual. The transmission doesn’t even come up as an option on all the searches and the radiators that do come up claim to fit the petrol and diesel variants. Do you think it is safe to go with that and check the pic’s and measurements to make sure it looks the same?
For example, this listing claims to fit a very broad range of models, including mine:

My logic is saying I should then be able to take it off a 2003 Manual D5. I’m getting one of them in good nick for a good price, that’s why I am keen.

Why do you say I have to change the alloy bar?
Thanks again for your precious time.
