I have made some progress on this.
Removed the radiator - it does need a really good clean now, which in progress.
Fan works - but needs some technical advice on part of the wiring. The fan is connected to a kind of relay close to the battery, with an exposed copper coil that does not look in serviceable condition. Any one know what that does?
Nearly finished making a bracket to mount it behind the passenger side front shock.

Where did you get the advert from for the bumper?

Good question - £350 doesn't sound bad - looks like an integrated sum guard too - and if the gear box cooler has been moved out of the way - could be useful?

In think it’s shyte
IRL they look pretty crap quality. For that price you could weld up much better with a scaffolding tube

Here is same but I urge you to consider design before buying. It’s got a slot cut for original tow eye - main point of the off-road bumper is to allow for designated tow points as OE won’t last long tugging a P38 out of the sticky stuff

I seem to have a lot more car between the springs (eugh), and this bumper - even after moving the oil cooler!

You could weld in a vented panel to protect it where it is?
@Salisbury Nick. If you are making a custom bracket, is there any benefit in investing in a smaller more efficient oil cooler? Those cooling tubes and fins don't look that efficient so may miss the the air flow that its original position provides.

You could always stick an electric fan on it?

Until this week I had not realised this was an option, but you are right. It is worth thinking about it.

It has a fan as standard although i removed it for cleaning but i will put it back on when i re-mount the rad. Photo’s to follow when I finish it.
I have got to work out how to fill the system with oil again avoiding an air lock now that the rad will be the highest point!

You have a later model then.
You could leave it dangling where it was, fill
It, then bend the rad up to its new home. They are flexible pipes

Don't forget its pumped in by the gbox oil pump
