Thread: Radiators....(unfortunately, not the band)

Not really! ask for a price for a new recore, would be way to go if not too dear, Regards Frank.

P.S. I figure I could purchase and fit a decent aftermarket one for that price. What say ye?

Are we talking 300Tdi or V8 radiator?

The price is fine,, but,

youre still left with a minimum ten year old rad,,,

if you intend to keep the car--
price a new one,,

V8 Radiator.

The Radiator was replaced 2 years ago but the previous owner seems to have put some sort of horrible water or coolant in it that turned to a jelly aparently. Maybe even a stop leak. I've decided to go ahead and have the whole system cleaned & presure tested (at the same cost) which to me seems pretty fair for a full overhaul of the cooling system.

And dont forget if you got really hot change your thermostat

had mine done for about that price also check the viscous hub as mine was rooted aswell, runs like a dream now never gets over half even towing my van

and if you do need a new viscous hub see rovacraft in bayswater there half the price of anyone else

Alright, so I picked the disco this afternoon and all is more than well again. Louie from European Vehicle Service in North Melb (across from Graham of BCC), didn't just get the cooling system sorted, he noticed the serpentine belt had been fitted incorrectly which was defo contibuting to cooling issues and also causing a little glitch with the taco, and adjusted it free of charge. The also topped up all the oils and fluids and made sure everything was tip top.

After doing all this, he still only charged me for the cooling system work!!! When you lift the hood now there is not a squeak, a noise, nothing coming from the engine bay.

Big props to Louie and his guys, the defo know their Disco's, and thanks to Graham from BCC for recomending him. If you're looking for someone to work on the disco, I would recommend you give him a call.
