Thread: Retrofit 3.9 lt radiator

Can I ask why you would do that, when a radiator for a D1 is not fantastically expensive to start with, and is cheap insurance to avoid overheating a motor that is a little sensitive to heat.

Is there a particular reason why you don't want to replace like with like?

firstly trade price for a d1 auto radiator is over 500 bucks secondly thermos can easily be fitted with a single or double core radiator rather than the 3 core and thirdly its the second radiator that the tanks have cracked within 12 months.

Mine cost me $390 delivered, and is still going strong 3 years later. Clearly you've had a couple of poor quality rads.

I can't help with the question you've asked though, and I've not heard of anyone doing it.

You could get an old 3.5 Range Rover radiator second hand. But you might have difficulty depending on which oil coolers are in your 3.9 rad.

it was an adrad radiator but ahwell ill just go through the jayrad catalogue ive got and see what happens.
cheers anyway guys
