What is this warning light????

I am on my phone at the moment, but will post up a few tonight when I get home from work. It was a very simple and cheap mod

looks a bit exposed. what if a Messerschmitt ambushes you? couple of mg17 rounds in that and you're overheating all the way to the ground.

Yes, I removed the Air-con condensor as it was damaged (fins flattened) behind the 2 air con fans and heaps of rubbish stuck in fins, this helped, but the bigger cooler done the trick.
You can see in the pic I had to cut some metal away to fit it where it is.
The Hydraulic rubber pipes weren't standard for this cooler, I believe they have (originally) snap on type fitting, similar to modern fuel lines.
I had to work hard to get the rubber hose over the retaining ridges on the oil cooler pipes then use double clamps wired together, I could only find 1 pic, but I will have a look for some more that I have, Regards Frank.

That looks good mate, so do you have no ac now?
And what did you get that cooler off?

RRC standard fit

My 3.9/R380 D1 parts car the bits came from

The "kit"

mount and plumbing through the grille

plastic grille bit you need to remove each side to get the pipes through.



After the cooler is fitted, I just tapped into one of the existing hoses so the trans fluid runs through both in series. I don't believe it matters which way the oil flows but I am sure someone will let me know if it is the case. The hose is half inch I.D.

No air-con, the condensor was buggered so I just deleted it, I was going to fit the fans and frame back (minus the condensor but haven't got around to it) I'm pretty sure I got it as a Freebie off the Give Away section of the markets on this Forum, it is off a Disco 2 auto, Regards Frank.

I do like your set up, think I will go that way, are you able to tell which is the hot and cold side? Think I will do a flush while I have the lines off.

I think the cold pipe is the one that is mounted higher on the gearbox, you will soon see which is which if you give the box a flush as it will pump oil out, Regards Frank.
