Here is hoping!

What are you going to use the space for that the radiator shroud uses?

Probably just trim the shroud but not sure to be honest.

Ah .. ok

I have plans, for later (when everything else has been "modded" and the guarantee has run out) to move all the radiators back by one inch or the other - so that my Aircon equipped Defender has the same flush front as the standard vehicles. I will the be able to work with the towing pin of the military bumper then.

But until that time, the shroud does no harm to me. Converting to elect. fans will cost money I need elsewhere for the time being.

Chook, let us know how you go with the new radiator.

I'm thinking about upgrading as I still get overheating with even a medium load when climbing...I also have the Allisport intercooler, driving lights and a winch blocking the way!

With 9,000km on the new radiator I have to say I am very un-impressed with the difference. I have ended up pulling off my spotlights to try and bring the temps down (which it did).

The difference between the stock radiator and the ali-sport was slightly noticeable but negligible, pulling up the hill at Orimbah I still have no problem hitting 110 at 90km/h and that goes even without the spotlights.

The other thing is that it turned up with the bottom pipe at the wrong angle so the guys had to space the radiator and intercooler to fit them properly.....

My feedback would be not worth the money and I will now be looking at other ways to bring the temps down before summer.......

This is an upload from my phone, its the bottom pipe on the allisport radiator when fitted with the allisport intercooler. I called Andrew about it and he wants me to send the radiator back which I didn't have time to do before I left.

get the grinder and holesaws out
