    Auto trans cooler

    Hello all,

    Vehicle is a disco 2 td5 but question not specific to this model.

    I am awaiting delivery of an Ashcroft auto box and wanted to fit a new genuine cooler and pipes. Trouble is they’re like hens teeth atm due to covid. I can get a Brit part one but don’t want to risk the new box with this.

    As far as I know the current cooler is fine although likely the original at 360k km.

    So what do you think, pull current cooler out and give it a proper flush and put back or go for a Brit part? Even bearmach is out of stock and allisport.

    If anyone has any ideas where to source a genuine one that’d be appreciated. Tried UK and US suppliers with no luck so far. I’m based near Perth.

    cheers all.

    Might just have found a possibility at britcar in uk. Website shows availability but have been here before and not available once ordered so thoughts still appreciated.

    Put a P38 unit in. Will take a little work and will cool a lot better.

    Factory D2 unit is marginal at best.

    The mob who built my auto wouldn't give it a warranty without a replaced ATF cooler as they trap debris if you've had a failure.
