A 7lb difference is a massive amount of aluminum.

Is that UK made one a 3 row in a 2 row chassis? Maybe an additional 7lb's in shipping weight? I find it hard to believe that two different 2 core radiators can have a 7lb difference in aluminum content and still be equally as effective, but since I have the Genesis Auto Parts radiator currently installed, I'll be keeping an close eye on it.

 

It just happened that I have a new one, made in Scotland that I ordered recently and after reading that reply earlier, I weighed mine and it came out just short of 19 pounds out of the box, and it is a 2 row built to the exact same size as my old one, all I can figure is they use more aluminum to disipate the heat faster.

 

Was your old one the original from 1999, or has it been replaced before?

 

I always look at Atlantic British and British Pacific first.

I know that I will get my part in a timely manner and there wont be any screw ups...

Dealing with the back-yard parts dealers can be a real pain. Don't want to get into mentioning names but if you don't want to wait or CANT wait for a part go with AB BP.

Can you snap a pic of the cooling fins?

The weight of a radiator by itself isn't what dissipates heat, but the effective surface area does. If the cooling fins are more densely spaced, it would increase the effective surface area and cooling capacity of the radiator. If they are much denser than the GAP version, that would explain the weight.

The next question would be whether or not the difference will impact cooling performance when offroading during summer, challenging trails, high altitudes, etc.

 

I just stopped by here earlier today here in Oklahoma City, OK.

Used Range Rover Parts : Land Rover Replacement Discovery Parts

Not sure how much square footage they are in, but it's pretty big and on 2 floors. They had pretty much everything for D1's and D2's. The guy showed me around the whole place. Seats galore, wheels, tires, stereos, gauge clusters, everything. There were quite a few Disco's in the dismantling state...there were complete bodies, headliners, glass, doors, transfercasses, tranmissions, complete engines, front/rear axles, the list goes on. They ship worldwide.

I stopped there to pick up some LR center caps for my wheels, and to check and see if they had a D2 grille.

 

Does any body else tried "Rover Parts West"? I'd order 4 items on 5/22 and got my credit card company deducted notice on 5/31 and no further shipping information from then....... Any suggestion?

 

Rover Parts West is actually a Land Rover dealership, with a side parts business. While I've obviously never purchased from them, they seem legitimate.

 

You mean "Rover Parts West" is part of "Findlay automotive group" (also Las Vegas Land Rover dealer)? How come such a company allow this thing happen!?

Any suggestion to push them sent out my stuff?

 

I suspect that shipping to Taipei may have certain delays. Always ask. Seems like their would be parts sources closer.
