Can anybody give me advice on how to change the radiator please. Is it doable without removing the body? Thanks.

Yes its doable although skinned knuckles are probable.
If its original its held on by 4 small bolts 2 either side at the bottom of the rad. These tend to rust so squirt them in penetrating oil for a few days.
Remove the top and Bottom Hoses. Remove the heater by removing the top and unscrewing it from the body. I cut the hoses and replace them as its a pain in the arse getting the clips undone.
With the dexterity of a gynaecologist get your hands either down in front of the Rad (Or come up from underneath) and remove the 4 bolts. Once these are out rad can be lifted out.
A good idea is to slot the brackets making it easier to remove/replace.. Good Luck.

This is interesting to know for future reference chaps....Do the bolts holding the rad screw into a threaded hole or is it nut and bolt...?
