Disco intercooler upgrade

I'm planning to buy a spare standard one, clean it out properly, then swap it with my (original) one. Effectively removing 115k of gunk from inside it should have a nice effect on performance and as it's merely cleaning/replacing a standard part the insurance won't go up!

I have an allisport full width intercooler on my 300, it's been there for a while, inc some of the late summer, not had any issues at-all with the truck getting over warm, it simply gets up to temp and stays there, it gets serious abus offroad too, ie, not travelling at speed..... but on the other hand even though it's lifte etc i still manage to get to naughty speed again with no over heating issues......
TEMPER593:
I need one NOW!!! :twisted: :drool:
I've been looking at them both on ebay and apart from the mountings being different they look identical.
So thats that sorted now what over performance bolt ons can i ask santa for!? :-k 8-[

Why? it takes no time to get them off, a few litres of parrafin into it and give it a damn good shake for a while, leave it for an hour or so to dry off then re fit, much cheaper than buying a spare!

I wouodn't bother with one form a petrol car, unless it had at least 150BHP/2.5 litres, otherwise it just won't pass enough wind.

I'm just a bit worried how long it will take to dry after a proper clean at this time of year! :lol:
