I notice that there is a resistor that must be bought with the radiator for an extra $10. Is this resistor already in place or is it something new to stop the electrolisis(Ron..need help!) Its a good theory that is running around.

Not sure why the resistor is required send a pm to british4wd - he's in the members list - he should be able to advise.

It is not a resistor, it is a restrictor. It goes in the coolant pipe to the fuel cooler to limit the coolant flow.

Please explain...

"Resistor MUST BE PURCHASED with PCC001070 Radiator Assembly TD5"

So it is a restrictor pipe that has nothing to do with the radiator but attachs to the fuel cooler


I thought it was a resistor that eliminates problems with positve/negative currents in the radiator, just like an earthing strap.

Or have I got this all wrong

I'm about to replace my radiator too and wanted to know, do i have to remove the viscous fan to do the job

Mine is a Manual TD5

No you don't have to according to RAVE, but you do have to remove the intercooler

...and the headlamps, grille, indicators, horns, transcooler, intercooler,etc etc etc. Why didn't they just leave it like the D1???????!!!!!!!!!!!
