Thread: Cooling system overhaul

Hi There,
Personally if I had the choice I would go for an all ally radiator, welded headers. They are pretty a much of a muchness when it comes to price not a lot of difference. My opinion. You can find quite a large selection on Fleabay. Might want to look at the water pump, how long has that been there, and check the serpy belt. Check the tensioner isn't seized. Check the rollers for looseness.
Cheers Marty.

Thanks Marty.

I was looking at this alloy radiator. Hard to tell if it meets minimum spec though: 3 ROW Upgrade Race Radiator FOR Land Rover Discovery 2 5 TD5 Diesel 1999 2004 | eBay

I'll look into the water pump. I change the serp belt a few months ago when I did the fan bearing.

Hi InMused,
This is the one I got from Fleabay, this is a four row, same price.

Thanks. Looks good.

I take it that it fits ok?

The TD5 radiator changed in 2002
Do the China made aluminum radiators reflect this?
