    Noob Q's on 300TDI radiator replacement (and oil cooler?)

    Copper appears to be the way to go.
    I'm looking at a full replacement unit I can swap without any fuss.

    What is the deal with the oil cooler component? If I buy a replacement radiator, do they all come with the oil cooler built in as well?

    Eg.
    BTP2275C - Copper - Radiator Only 300TDI 90/110 to TA976035 and Range Rover Classic and Discovery

    Land Rover Defender Discovery 1 Radiator Copper Core 300TDI PCC500170 | eBay



    Any other good tips?

    Yes, the oil cooler is part of the radiator and comes with it.

    HMM, that is very tempting, but I'm suppose to be spending less money on the Disco, not more! I can justify a new radiator as maintenance, but almost twice the price for an "uprated" performance radiator....... We'll see.

    my main rule on any car is not to skimp on cooling. when the time comes i prefer to make sure my car is KOOL. It can be a very long walk from some places.

    That radiator you shared the link to kinda looks plastic PVC pipe where the hoses go in. Tell me that not the case?
