    Defender 90 MPI radiator needed

    I had a pipe made to size, but I just found out that all connections are moist. My girlfriend suggested self-vulcanizing rubber tape round all metal parts before putting the hoses back on, but I am not sure that's not a bodge job. If I can not stop the leaks the entire kit is going back to...

    Nice tool, but it won't do much on the stainless pipe I have now I'm afraid. Maybe I need to change to aluminium again and find someone who can make a bead. Or find a proper rubber hose, because the original hose did not need it. Nobody recognizes the hose? I doubt it was specifically made for...

    I have a shiny new core, full thickness of the radiator because that is what they could buy off the shelf. I guess the fan will be out of work now. There is still one problem. I can not get the connection of the rubber part with the heater hoses to the metal pipe to seal. The tube connecting the...

    It is 300 euro, so 270 in your currency. That's not too bad, is it?

    But it could be.. I will just blank off the openings and wait for the answer from Italy.

    I do not, but that could be it! heating for the vaporiser. They use a lot of LPG in Italy, so you may be right.

    Defender 90 MPI radiator needed

    I found a complete set of water hoses for the 90 MPI in Italy by the way. After two ruptured hoses in two weeks that seemed like a good idea. Google 'defender 90 mpi full water kit'. One thing is strange: On the two hoses to the heater there are extra exits. My 90 does not have that, so I wonder...

    Yes, that is what I found regarding the bottom hose. I think it is going to be a recore. I have a quote for arond €300, so not too bad. It is weird though that is does not seem to be a standard Land Rover item.

    I haven't seen a Disco radiator with top mounting pins yet, but will look into that. It does not have an oil cooler.

    No, it is one of the 800 or so built by Land Rover for the Italian police.

    ESR2595 is the Disco radiator. All connections are in the right places, but the top mounts are on the side, not on the top of the radiator. I can take a picture when I get home from work. Thanks.

    Defender 90 MPI radiator needed

    Hi everyone, I need a new radiator for my 1995 90 MPI. Does anybody know what type was used? I have looked at a lot of pictures but haven't found the exact same radiator yet. If I can't find one, do you think a new core is an option? Will it be as good as a new one? Thanks! Jan
