    Defender td5 radiator life span

    How long is one meant to last? I have a 2000 defender td5 with what is probably the original radiator, should it be replaced? As the tanks are plastic, is it a time-bomb waiting to explode?

    Cheers, Josh

    About the same as Rangieman.
    Changed radiator out last year before our CSR trip. 2003 td5 Defender.

    Cheap and not that difficult if you do it yourself.

    Do all the hoses while you are at it (if you haven't already).

    95 300Tdi Ute (sold)
    2003 XTREME Td5

    I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.
