Title: 2.5 / 3.0 RAD
Post by: omega3000 on 03 January 2012, 11:34:38

Hi folks , im looking to junk the old rad out my 3.0 elite as its sprung a leak so question is will the 2.5 rad be ok to fit as im seeing many items listed on ebay saying they are all the same ...just checking before i go ahead and buy . If not is there any others that will fit off different models ?

Cheers  :y

2.5 one will fit but beware as the auto ones are different to the manuals (they have an autobox oil cooler in the off side end)

:y Yes i did spot the cooler pipe , so it has to be specific . Just as well i checked , i was also asking because the 2.5 rads seem to be a little cheaper . Am i right in thinking that the manual version is rarer than the auto version as there seems to be more auto versions . Ill have to ask that the rad is for auto before ordering .

I fitted an auto radiator to the manual MV6 thats still masquerading on here as The Big Black Beastie.  If its still the same one, caused no problems, just left the red plastic plugs in the gearbox cooler ends....

i did too - my manual had the auto cooling bit on it , just used the plugs off my old one to block off the  pipe inserts
