Sooo.

Hi Folks.

I'm not the owner of said beast but I do drive it from time to time and help out getting the maintenance sorted. I am a landrover owner too but a slower diesel D2.

Aaaanyway. So there has been some coolant leak in the past and last week I took it to a friend to see about getting the AirCon working. Yeah, um. No. Turns out to have a very bad noisy leak somewhere when some gas was added to the aircon system.

Further inspection found the aircon radiator thing was looking quite poorly, the intercooler is 'sagging' and I hate to think what state the radiator is in.

It all needs fixing I reckon. The owner agrees but looking around the various sales sites for parts shows many many options for those 3 bits. The plan is to source and order the parts and get them delivered to a garage to do the work. For many reasons. One of them is that it is the garage I use, but he's not done an RRS radiator set before.

I can give the VIN number too if needed, but it's a 2005 RRS V8 Auto Supercharged. (L320)

So could someone possibly let me know the combinations of bits I need. AirCon Condensor, Intercooler, Autobox oil cooler, water radiator.

I assume that all those bits are in there somewhere but when I last looked I didn't see all the bits I needed to see.

Thanks in advance.

The VIN has confirmed it's a 4.2 V8 SC (Power Unit Series - 4.2 V8 AJ Petrol [200AE])

The AC radiator for the 4.2SC and 4.4V8 is the same thing, JRB500141

For some reason for a while I thought it was a 4.4 SC, but there isn't such a thing is there lol

that's correct.

4.4 NA
4.2 SC (Supercharged)

So you know what to buy now ?

I think the autogearbox cooler is part of the main rad

This is what I would buy.
I like cheap A/C cons. They all rot, so you may as well have cheap.
I was going to say buy a genuine coolant rad, but given the price difference and age of car you may as well have the cheap one!

Thank you Andy K

I appreicate your clarification on the bits needed. This is just the sort of information I was after.

I've just got to order the parts now and plan a time to be able to get it done.

Cheers

So I started getting this sorted today and found that Advanced Factors didn't have the stuff on their website, so rang them up and spoke to a nice chap and gave the link to the post here. Considering they are one of the site sponsors

He went off and found all the parts I needed, and it's now ordered and should be with me sometime in the next week or so. Parts have to be ordered in.

I took a trip yesterday in it. It took 3 litres of water before the trip and the aircon didn't work. So it was a lot more tiring than I would have liked and I waited until dark to make the return journey.

So I am eager for this to be sorted too
