    I've never had a shroud and never had a problem, in temps up to 35 degrees or so.
    I would like to get one to prevent the fan spraying water about when wading, are they available?

    Anyone who wrecks Series Landrovers is likely to have one - as a non-wearing part, second hand should be OK and easier to find, and a lot cheaper (probably) if you do find a new one.

    Although a standard fitting in Aus, the shroud was an optional extra in the UK market. The only time I needed one with a 2 1/4 was after moving my radiator forward several inches, in preparation for fitting a longer transmission.
    Wagoo.

    thanks chomby i will get one but as coming into winter here in canberra it will be cold, and cold in the mountains. but summer is hot as hell and a shroud will be a must.....i have to get that life sucking gearbox back into action and get some seats from somewhere. then do the shackles and shocks and maybe try and find a steering wheel/ ....and then theres a roadworthy. got a leaky rear brake cylinder and a leaky swivel ball and diff seal. and then theres the clutch bearing and prob a clutch kit?

    Sounds like a shroud is the least of your worries . Though it's better to get it sorted now than wait till summer, plus it'll probably cost no more than a pink note. I just wish we got a winter at all here in rocky
