Nice work.
I've been racing through my Disco ready for B+W too. Although I only had to fit a light-bar and a 2" lift kit!!

Now should the hotter water go to the top or the bottom ? Or doesn't it really matter ?

discomark10 · Jun 16, 2013

Hot at botom might aid movement as heat rises

Dr_evil · Jun 16, 2013

I'd put it at the top, the way its meant to be

200tdi ayre · Jun 16, 2013

Has a look at the vehicles in the yard and the pump pipe is at the bottom so that's how I'm doing it

200tdi ayre · Jun 16, 2013

It's a 2.5 NA radiator as its big ! Haha and in good condition and I had it lying around so why not

I'm using the oil cooler off of the auto box from the disco for the engine oil and mounting it high up behind the grille

Ignore the header tank that's not in it's final place yet

discomark10 · Jun 17, 2013

Ive got a tank from a 206.. its round and a bit better shaped. The lr one is a bit awkward imo. Looking good mate, how long you think until finished?

I may be wrong but I think the upper ones usually go to the bottom of the hoop. But unsure about the others.
