While working on the radiator hoses, the overflow hose/nipple connector finally snapped off. After trying all the patches, I finally drilled it, and screwed in a brass nipple and that is holding well.

I priced replacement radiators and saw Rock Auto has one for $200 and AB has one for $320. We don't plan to keep the truck forever, so do you think we'd get a couple good years from the Rock Auto radiator?

Also, can anyone direct me to a link for the DIY instructions? Looks straight forward but I always like to read others' experiences first on pulling, replacing and refilling.

This is the part number radiator on the truck now: Land Rover Discovery II Radiator (Same Fit As Genuine Part # PCC000710) | Land Rover Engine Parts

This is what Rock Auto has More Information for NISSENS 64313A

Rock Auto may have the wrong model for me.

Miami British has the same one as AB for $255 LAND ROVER RADIATOR DISCOVERY II 2 99-04 V8 4.0 4.6 PCC000710 NISSEN | Miami British



Thanks!

 

Yes , many use the nissens.

 

thanks!

 

I've got the same issue and getting a replacement radiator is going to take time. Curious to learn how well your brass nipple worked out. I'm hoping your ingenuity can get me over the hump until I can get the replacement.

Thanks

 

This one Proline radiator from Rovers North is $279. RADIATOR DISCOVERY II W/ OR W/O 2ND AIR, PLD495, PCC000710 - Rovers North - Classic Land Rover Parts

 

$220/shipped from us for the Nissens

 

I've used Proline parts in the past with no problems. I expect they are a less than perfect company though. But I trust them because RoversNorth sells their parts to us. That said, who or what is this "Nissens" I keep hearing about?

 

I got one from import parts depot on ebay for $140. Not sure of the make but was for a not secondary air ( what I needed ). Installed this morning and it fit perfect, and works just fine. I guess time will tell. It does like identical to all the others I have taken out. Just my two cents.

Proline isn't a brand. I think Zack can explain more in detail what "Proline" is
