Albs, just make sure you breaker has a seperate autobox oil cooler, and the aux electric water pump attached to the rad fan cowling.  If it does, the rad will fit Sam's car perfectly.  :y

It doesnt have the seperate cooler,but iirc the 2.6/3.2 rads still have the inbuilt cooler,they just dont use it. ;)

You may well be right.  I'd need to have a look at mine in daylight to be sure.  :-\

Yeah, but only solar powered ones!  :D

Since you asked so nicely, I've just been and had a look...  ::)

I can't see any blanks where the pipes would connect to mine.  :-\  That's not to say your rad won't be ok for Sam, but it might have slightly less capacity that a proper 3.2 one.

In fact, IIRC I helped P6UL K out of a muddle with a rad from a MFL V6 with built-in intercooler for his 3.2 manual.  :y

Could well have been a replacement. Genuine rads for late model 2.6/3.2 don`t have the in-built coolers

What year is your car Sam?  IIRC it's not a really late 3.2.  So following Rob's advice, you may well find that Albs' rad will be a direct replacement.  :y

Yep.Best Sam has a look or posts a pic of the o/s of the rad.I will also have a look for a part number on mine. :y

The one I have has auto oil cooler built into one side and that one doesnt.I think the likely hood is,it wont make any difference,but best to be certain before deciding.I will get a couple of pics of mine tomorrow and maybe we can post both on the forum and ask advice. :y

Think the oil cooler was on the opposite side of the fans, but that was taken off so could get a clear pic of the brackets/holes without that in site! il wait to see the pics u upload?  :y

The built in oil cooler makes no odds ;) I fitted a brand new one for about £80 and they shipped it with the built in cooler (even though I ordered one for a manual so no cooler  ::)) but it fits and cools perfectly :y
