Thread: Some suppliers, don't bother

I purchased one for the D2 when I hit the Roo for $197.00

Even now the aftermarket versions are far more expensive than a genuine...

We have a local that does all ours. Yes the 101, series III and sundry others we are asked to supply. Does an excellent job. We don't question the price as his is often cheaper than ordinal. Except for the 101 $800.00

80% of Land Rover Buyers ask for The Blue Box Ones, some will wonder why its so cheap when it fails after 6 months..

Why people insist on "upgrading" something more than suited to the task - usually at large expense - has my puzzled.

A factory radiator is a couple of hundred dollars and with proper servicing (which they all need) will go 10+ years without failure.

Give up Tombie,my LR's have survived the harshest summers Oz can provide but people still carry on about the rads being too small,I don't bother anymore. Pat

Reason for the upgrade is 30% power increase with some mods, power =heat and I want to dissipate it. Will give PWR a call tomorrow. Thanks for the help.

bigger is better


questions;

is the stock rad/intercooler/cooler still suitable with the mods im adding?

is there an aftermarket item that i somehow better than the stock item?

It does seem strange that the argument about 'manufacturers spend millions developing a car, you don't need a bigger radiator/brakes/suspension' etc etc.
A vehicle is developed to do the intended job but at a set price, everyone knows better materials, workmanship is available but who wants to spend double the cost.
If you believe manufacturers have developed a vehicle that is perfect for a reasonable cost please let me know and I'll buy one
