Thanks rijidij and red rocket, you've helped a lot. I might investigate the V8 version a little more. Can you confirm that not only the rads are the same size but that they also use the same mounts (size, position etc)?

The bottom rad mounts are part of the chassis. I think you will find all the rads use the same mounting points, top and bottom.

Well, I found out some info from a very helpfull radiator guy that might help others.
The Zu rad has...
-5 pipes running through the core
-is more robust than the V8 rad
-the core is thinner than the V8 (I think, can't remember if I got that right)
-you can get a 3 pipe or 5 pipe recore with the 3 core being cheaper but slightly less efficient.
-the tanks are the same as the V8 rad
-The mountings are the same as the V8 rad

I went for the 5 core heavy duty rad and paid $862 from Martin at Express Radiators in Welshpool, 0405 237 346. I'm very impressed with his workmanship and his service. Importantly, he knows landrover radiators.

Hope this helps.;)

hmmm, I recently bought a County radiator from CLR for $350. As long as it cools the hot water enough, and holds it in there..... then I'm happy.
