Looking to do the radiator, wherever I look, can't find any specs about them.
I assuming that they are 2 rows.
Doesn't anyone know if a 3 row radiator exists that will fit our Disco2?
thanks

 

For what you can buy a NISSENS 64313A (LR#: PCC000710G ) from L8 (like $220) or others it's not worth the headache. And please DO NOT buy the cheap-o all aluminum Made in China radiators from Ebay. Garbage!

Ok, like $223.00 > Radiator- Proper Spec ? Lucky 8 Parts and Accesories for Land Rovers

 

Im definitely staying out of MADE IN CHINA.....but perhaps I end up with MADE IN MEXICO

Was thinking like Advance? Have a wholesale account with them and the lifetime warranty...
Any luck on that?

 

FYI don't forget to take off the sealing strip and 2 clips at the bottom of your old radiator, you'll need them for the new one. I didn't know and threw the old rad away

I got the NIssens from Lucky8.

 

1, 2, 3, 4 rows does not matter.
It is the area of the passage of each tube multiplied by the number of tubes.
In other words, the volume of coolant held or passing in them.
3 rows of narrow tubes does not mean it is better than 2 rows of wider ones.

 

Thanks will do!


hmm really?
I was under the impression than more rows, more tubes and "sometimes" slightly larger tubes.
When I was looking into a radiator replacement for our cummins, 2 rows radiators are definitely a no no, due to the fact the implies less tubes and smaller size tubes.

 

The Nissens rads are good. The more rows the greater the cooling surface area the better the cooling provided there is sufficient room for air pass. I have just upped my Pajero rad from a 32mm to a 42mm thick matrix with an additional row due to potential/possible overheating problems. The original two row was OK but the additional thickness plus an additional row made a hell of a difference in cooling particularly in traffic (a rarity here) and when moving the ram air effect took the temps down to 78C which was 5C lower then before. I also refilled the viscous fan with silicon oil as it was down a bit on 'grip' interference.

 

My thoughts too. These are not industrial engines or as easy to mod. If they were we'd likley all be using bigger/better rads and what not.

If you continue to see higher than "normal" temps, have you pulled block drains, thoroughly flushed/cleaned cooling system with a cleaning agent and then reflush after pulling drains again? If installing a new rad I'd do the flushing/cleaning just prior to new rad install. Seem to remember you've done most the recommended part changes.

If after doing all you can do and temps still reading higher than desired consider possibility the temp sensor may be a bit off.
