V8 Overheating

--- Quote from: "Jonny Boaterboy" ---ummmm I did wonder about the price but need to get one quick, anyway found out today that Land Rover don't have them in stock at the moment so I am now getting one from a company in wales (forgot there name) who used to make then for Land Rover and guess how much............ £300!
I like to use genuine kit when I can as it keeps the whole replacement parts going. I had a Beetle before the Range Rover and trying to get good quality parts was hard as all the spare parts were made in Brazil or Mexico and were no where near as good as the original. It really quite nice to be able to go into Land Rover and be able to get almost any part for a 13 year old Range Rover. Even if it is a bit more money a feel like I'm doing my bit to make sure that in the future we can all still get spare parts that are good quality......... I am skint though!

Are the oil coolers attached to the radiator then? On my 3.5 the single oil cooler is seperate and housed in front of and below the radiator. I presume you do mean transmission oil cooler?
Dr Strangeglove:
The 3.9 has two oil coolers - one on each side!! - I have managed to get a price of £162.50 at the moment.
Jonny Boaterboy:
Fitted my new radiator today with no problems, even though I paied £290 for it it didn't seem as good quality as the original so on that note stick with the cheapest option and see how it goes........ I'll let you know if mine gives up!
Also found today that the bearings on the alternator are starting to squeal does anyone know where you can have them rebuilt? or is it a job you can do yourself

On the 3.5 the oil coller was an option only. On the 3.9 it's standard and uses the driber's side (cold) of the radiator. The auto box uses the passenger's side AND the hairy sausage behind the grille.
