I'd like to know too. The V8 model's autobox seems to sometimes get a bit warm when going very slow and the go pedal is being used quite a bit.
EDIT: Blast, reply made when I was typing. :oops:

Thanks Rob - yep, wanted one after seeing your thread! They still have six left so if anyone else fancies one I'd say to go for it now.
Not sure about cooling - I think the air coming out of the vents was cooler, but the engine temp gauge didn't move (still just below halfway). I know the true Gulf spec Discos had some other stuff too, like a bigger viscous fan, different fan cowls, bigger radiator, different oil cooler, assorted extra cowls and vents, and a bigger alternator.
Apparently it is supposed to improve aircon function, but mine is out of action until I get a replacement idler pulley as I've taken the drive belt off to escape the noise of the knackered one. I've also heard tales of it reducing fuel consumption, although I'm not expecting any change there.
Where did you get your green oval badge from? I did investigate prising the one off the old grille but it didn't look as though it would come off intact.
