rick Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 anyone know the difference between a 'fender BTP2601S and a Disco BTP2275 radiator ? A few of the suppliers out here list the Disco one as suitable for a Defender.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo Murphy Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Rick, when I replaced my rad, Craddocks told me that they're all the same for 300s. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we weren't already copping 35* days (and it's only spring) I'd import one from the UK, much, much cheaper than here, but it's a work truck and I need it to be on the road NOW and be reliable. Will be taking mine to the Rad shop tomorrow and hopefully they can supply/fit a thicker core. Poor buggers were really having trouble identifying it in their (aftermarket) catalogues. He kept saying was it for a Disco...No, so he rang a big radiator shop mate in Queensland who confused him even more. Was tempted to get an all aluminum one, a few race shops here make em for the 'fender, but they are pricey $$$$$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put a disco 300Tdi rad in my rangie after having Natrad (at Warners Bay) replace the core with a thicker one (5 core from memory). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned the larger core to my rad bloke after remembering you'd done this in the Rangie, John. I worked out today that he'd actually been talking to K&J in Qld. (they make radiator cores, intercooler cores, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
