Are you not satisfied with your Kenlowe oil cooler and what makes you think you need one at all?

Hi Simon

Just in case you miss this under "Technical":-

Kenlowe are an excellent make - I doubt anyone makes a significantly better product. Oil does get hot - engines work best at their designed operating temperature. They do not work well when cold.

I would suggest that "cold" would be if you could hold an oil pipe!

Before you go to the expence of fitting something else I would suggest you change the autobox oil and filter (if fitted - Land Rover auto boxes have them but not all makes do), cleaning out the vanes on the radiator if appropriate and making sure you do not have spot lights/badges etc obscuring the airflow to the oilcooler radiator.

Had gearbox oil changed a fortnight ago, awful burning smell when towing up a steep hill.

Sent wrong diameter pipes, instructions were very hard to follow, have been told it could be to small for my grand vitara turbo diesel.

See my post under technical.It gets very confusing when we have the same topic on two threads!
