and tips?

thanks ben

Once you get the radiator, intercooler and oil cooler out of the way, fitting the PS hoses is pretty easy. Then you have to refit it all (including the fan, grille and headlights) and hope you haven't created a leak somewhere else, as i did.

Take your time and adhere to mike 90 RR's advise above.

If the coolant is dropped to remove the radiator ... Then make sure that the nose of the car is higher than the rear ... so that you minimise any "Airlocks" when refilling the Rad

yeah not going to be an easy one.
how do I get the air out of the pump once i reconact it all back up??

thanks ben

If I recall correctly,,
It should self bleed,,

a minute or two at idle then lock to lock,,

can someone confirm this for Ben?

just had a quick squizz thru RAVE,,
couldnt find a fluid qty,,,

so all the messing around and time getting the part up. don't have the right tools up on buller. so the safe way is to put the bloody disco on tow to mansfield to get it fixed.

hope to pick it up next week. good weekend but had to come home in a toyota hilux the only bad part!!!!!

thanks for all your help
ben

That's a blow Ben. I hope it all ends up OK.
I'll be interested to know how many hours it takes the guys at Mansfield to fix it.
