He only mentioned water pipes, what exactly is he trying to do?

Strange, the 'block' so to speak is identical, 2nd oil pressure switch aside, so why can't you just use all your existing water pipes?

As above really, if and when you get it done get them to change all the grommets and breather pipes as well.

Also, 10 yrs is a long time for fuel hoses these days so I would cast an eye over those as well, especially the engine bay ones as I had some perrish in less than 2 yrs.

Be mindful of how close the engine lid is to the filters as well, I'm pretty sure you need quite short ones on a T25.
