SJ's do a replacement for about £200 if I remember correctly.

Yasou, Dave (DeeAitch) has had an oil cooler fail (see towards the end of this thread). He bypassed it as a temporary fix and he might even have got round to replacing it now. :wink:

I know it might be a bit 'off topic' and i dont want to hijack Yasou's thread, but as an option, is it possible to cut the two pipes attached to the engine, just before the obscure fittings leaving bare steel ends.

Then any suitable diameter rubber/stainless braided pipe (of the correct material specification) can be attached by jubilee clips.

You can choose whatever fitting on the other end you need to fit whatever oil coiler you can source.

Presumably any 13-row cooler will do the job if it can be physically mounted????

Just a thought!
Dave

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

It is a bog standard one with the mountings cut-off and a couple of brackets welded to it.

the hardest part of getting it out is the steel bolts in the aluminium rivnuts(?) the new one from SJ just has holes and no nuts.
