Have relivened this thread as frankly the car is turning into a bloody project after all. Pictures will be displayed at some point.
Having found that there is a some leakage from my oil cooler pipes, I have decided to for go paying LR the vast sums for the replacements and just replace the hose.
Have ordered some 5/8 pipe for the engine cooler and 1/2 for the gearbox cooler.. The plan is to cut the metal lines and seal and clamp the rubber hose in place, making the lines longer or shorter as required to fit a bit neater around the rest of the things i am now doing...
Having removed more and more of the car to get to various parts, it became more noticable that there was a substantial amount of oil breathing out of the intercooler. Coating the front left innards of the vehicle...
Current position of the project:
Front bumper off
Intercooler out
Oil cooler removed
Air con condenser floating
Car full of parts of itself....
With all parts out and various internet investigations completed, the project is as follows
New intercooler, from a SAAB to be fitted (considerably bigger and free)
Oil cooler to be relocated above intercooler some how..
Aircon condenser to be mounted to something somehow..
Praying that the oil cooling system doesnt just explode when the car is started..
Oh an i have a PSI powerbox that i took out of a salvage car to fit as well...
hoping for a nice power boost and some less leakage..
