Radiator

[landy light]

I know the threads of "overheating and such" have been worn out but ive come to the conclusion that i am gonna need a radiator.
Why do these things have such a price range $350-$1400????

Is there anything different and does anyone have a decent place to buy for a reasonable price.

Thanks guys

Roversnorth has it for 380 or so. Thats what I used.

those are Prolines right Sven? they seem like a pretty decent radiator. all the aftermarket radiators that i have seen for DIs or RRCs have been quality steel radiators similar to the OE units. $380 is a good price.

 

[sven]

Yeah its a RN Proline made by Serck Services.

Is actually cheaper now: http://www.roversnorth.com/store/p-4740-radiator-oil-cooler-range-rover-discovery.aspx

I have a brand-new factory original Discovery I (auto trans) radiator available here, however similar to what others have said, the cost was over $350. It is the real thing though... unfortunately it is in Ontario.

I had the one on my Disco recored in June of '05 for $325 and it's been fine. I also had them install a drain valve in the bottom of the left tank at the same time.

is this a hard install? Would a beginner be able to change one? Fairly handy, just never tackled anythind in the engine bay other than fluids.

This is a fairly easy DIY job. The most difficult part (IMHO) are the oil cooler connections. They can be corroded and difficult to loosen. Otherwise, the rubber hoses to the engine are straightforward, and the whole radiator basically lifts out after a few brackets are unbolted.

It's easy. You'll spend more time getting your tools out and draining the radiator than you will removing it.

Thanks fellas i think ill just go through RN. Im sure ill be posting later next week about install, but it does appear to be pretty straight forward.

Once again thanks
