No this is a VERY useful post to your nonsense & lack of knowledge on this sorry. I am trying to save people from blowing 200.00-250.00 on a Chinese radiator which will not work & then the seller won't refund their $$$$ or just tell them to modify their vehicle to match the radiator nonsense...

The radiator you just showed an image of is 100% OEM design. Those fittings WILL not work due to the threads being the wrong pitch! The male fitting is correct but the diameter of the hole & pitch of the threads on the chinese aluminum radiators = incorrect.

The radiator in the video which you posted is completely different & here is a pic from the video.




That radiator has female fittings for those double male adapters to thread into allowing you to then thread on your OEM female transmission & oil cooler lines.

OEM Radiator has male connectors. Lines are Female connectors. Your Adapters are male to male adapters which won't work!

For a chinese radiator to work you would need something like this with the proper thread pitch/diameter & then fitting hole size and same flare style for the oring.

Sad to see this go personal.

 

This is not personal, I am laying the facts out vs spreading the wrong info.

Chinese radiators 99% of them apparently have the exact OEM setup with "male" cooler line fittings. They do not however all have the proper thread pitch/count preventing them from simply connecting. Which would require you to modify your vehicle for their radiator which shouldn't be done vs getting the correct part.

That male to male adapter is worthless on those.

Now if the Chinese radiators all had female connectors the male to male adapter would solve the problem no doubt.

That is just the facts

 

I used a Nissen radiator, and purchased the adapters, which I ended up not needing. Been 2 years now and it has not had a problem, which is saying a lot for Minnesota, Hot summers and frigid cold winters. No leaks and no problems. Maybe I just got lucky? (finally)

 

The Nissens in my XD only seeps when it goes from a normal TX 80F day to 20F lol. The last time it did it I removed one bolt at a time and put a little blue loctite on them. We'll see what it does this year. Weird on Parts Geek they show 3 different Nissens radiators one being brass but that has been discontinued.

My gold 95 truly has issues with radiators it's only jinx.

 

I just went through a nightmare adapter situation. My D1 shat the bed via it's original radiator during a long Range camping trip. It started to run hot in St George Utah. Miraculously a local radiator shop had 1 radiator in stock for a Discovery 1. And to my surprise it's freaking brass. The radiator worked out great. No issues. But it came w adapters that did not fit the radiator itself.
My theory is the Range Rover Classic cooler lines use a different seal. The radiator had those male fittings in it. They included 4 brass adapters that were supposed to adapt the trans/oil cooler lines to the later Discovery o ring type. These adapters sucked ***. After much leaking and much cursing I was finally forced to JB weld the adapters onto the radiator so they would properly seal. I was traveling with limited time and tools so this situation was a complete nightmare.

 

ebay - amazon - 4 core aluminum rads ARE TRASH!!!!! BUY NISSEN - NOT AN OPINION- AN EXPERIENCE - search my posts
they will work and hold pressure but after a bit of driving/vibration fractures will develop
