Bit of a problem getting fiddly work like modifying radiators professionaly done localy. Ripped the tail pipe of the old girl and no one up here could/would bend up a piece of pipe for it:eek:. Ended up getting something similar and modifying it myself, stick welding exhaust is hours of entertainment:D.

AYG2739 is the Landrover part number. They should be able to cross reference it from that. If that doesn't work get back to me and I will see if I can find any Natra numbers on mine - I know it still has a Natra steel tag on it.

If you're still interested in differences between V8 and isuzu radiators, see this thread.

Any radiator shop should be able to swap the inlet and outlet around (if you have a radiator shop nearby that is) - the pipes are just brazed in.

I got a quote today for a genuine replacment radiator for the Isuzu wait for it $1,500 :eek: so iam going to go with using a V8 Radiator and use the end tanks ok my old one

I had mine recored a few years back - cost about $800 from memory.

V8 radiators are OK with the changes noted, but note that there are many replacement V8 radiators sold that are either plastic/aluminium or otherwise too lightly built to stand up to the vibration of the Isuzu.

definatly don't need a dud, pretty important bit of gear, got some precious cargo on board. We do trips out in the bush that are pretty remote, and breaking down is not good. The end plan is to get home with a big smile:D

Offender90's V8 rad had done perth to the kimberleys and back, including plenty of rough roads.

So if you have get a quality V8 rad with the same number of cores and the same material thickness as an isuzu rad then go for it.

land rover genuine unit...ayg2739...still available, out the door, only $2326.:o natrad couldn't source one for me but will recore with a ct? car type core for $628 not including freight. The v8 one is a bearmach aftermarket job, been bitten with a bearmach water pump that failed and cost me a motor rebuild on my disco so very weary of the brand. Might do some research on uk radiators, part number esr79 for the early v8 and 2.5 diesel/petrol and swap the outlets.

It cost me ~$900 IRC to get my rad recored in Perth about 18 months ago, using a Natrad 4-core type with the straight fins (i.e. not the car type core). The car-type core was cheaper...

This might be the goods:

Similar dimensions, bottom pipe faces upwards away from the steering arm. Trim the side mounting points, what do you'se think?

Hi
I had my radiator recored at natrad for $600 dollars. Not sure about the mounts on the side of that radiator you are looking at. you would have to put mounts on the top for it to be held in place.
