    D1 R380 gearbox oil cooler

    Hi all,
    does anyone know if Australian delivered d1's were fitted with oil cooler on the later R380 equip vehicles?. I have found the adapter online but at around 700-800 dollars is cost prohibitive. Has anyone used the ashcroft adapter?

    R380 oil cooler

    As far I know Australia didn’t come with gearbox oil coolers. TD5 had a pipe which was as much use as a chocolate fire guard). Others on here may have more correct info on that regard.

    I bought and have fitted the AshCroft R380 oil cooler. Had it fitted over a year ago now. Seems to have worked fine. I have had no issues with it. But I had to locate the cooler below the A/C condenser on mine so had to cut away the bottom of the front grill surround as I wanted it in the direct air flow.(pic attached). If you don’t have A/C it should go in front of the radiator between the cross supports. Where ever you put it you will need to fabricate a mount for it. have touched it after use and the cooler was warm to the touch but not hot or cold, so it was doing something.

    Mine had one, but I think it was a retrofit. I don't have the adaptor any more but the cooler itself is still there, and the lines. I could probably take some pics if it helps.
