TD5 Radiator Options

[gavinwibrow]

Anyone tried one of these? I think there was a recent discussion on radiators, but don't recall this one (ex Melbourne but almost certainly an import)

3 rows and I need some extra/more cooling for the D2/TD5 conversion in the RRC.

Could break the bank and go for the $1K plus PWR type version, but ???

dunno Gavin , I'd be concerned about the flow ( or lack of ) through the end tank intercooler cutouts , is the rangie modified for an existing d2 radiator or is the support panel stock with original type radiator and separate intercooler ? . Did you get down this way last long weekend ?

Yeah yeah yeah [bighmmm]
Been tossed around thrown up and down and zilch.
Personally how long has the standard one lasted[wink11]
I got a oem one from roverlords that`s where my choice went .

G'day.
Still coming down south, hopefully within a couple of weeks or fortnights, but will let you know prior. Found out later, the club trip last weekend was not to Albany, but only part way to Collie way via Dwellingup and environs.

I plan to do a full measurement/audit of appropriate items between the two cars, but was always of the understanding that the RRC is effectively all D2/D2a stuff under the bonnet, except for the air filter/snorkel.

My D2 runs cooler ie normally 88 - 92 (albeit with a 43mm deep alum radiator via DazzaTD5), but now being back on the road today the RRC was all over the place just driving around suburban and arterial roads, and not in heavy traffic, and got above 100 a few times. I admit it was a bit warm and I had the a/c on full bore, but!!!!

Certainly needs some work before any towing options.

If this one ever needs a new one, it'll be another GEN item,,,[wink11]
