Well that will teach me for ignoring the old girl. Noticed some coolant stains on the drive way.

Assuming I’m on borrowed time here? Luckily I’ve done two 19 hour over time shifts this week.

Dang, is that the welds split on the header tank ?

I think so, we’ll enough to leak while sitting so I guess won’t get any better while driving.

Guess I find a replacement! Marty want to teach me how to swap it out?

Replacement radiator is on its way from GRP4, Aus distributor had it on stock and was in the mail same day.

I topped up the coolant and took it for a spin yesterday, after driving the landcruiser the escort felt like a rocket ship! After leaving it for 24 hours it hasnt leaked anymore onto the driveway floor but can see more spots popping up around the welds on the cooler.

Anyway, heres a throw back because people dont just want words.

Awesome pic Robbie, glad to hear it all worked out.

How'd you manage that burnout  in reverse Robbie?
 

Photobombed by a rouge speedster lol

New radiator arrived, looks well made and cost wise was in the middle of a ebay spec and pwr options so kinda happy i guess. Ordered a 16psi stant cap, but who knows when that will arrive in the current times.

Things to note if your ocd is as bad as mine, youll need bung for a temp sensor - Pirtec had this on the shelf i believe its m22x1.5 (i cant find part number later and put it up - might help someone someday). Also to have the cap fully tight it puts it off centre, the wings, this is totally nothing to worry about but looks odd. Ill post photos once its installed.

Unfortunately all this will have to wait till the new year, might actually get mike to install that LSD ive left laying around at his workshop for over a year now. In other news, loving the landcruiser although its costing me a fortune getting it up to spec where im happy. Oh well lucky my work doesnt shut down over xmas

Very nice radiator you've got there👍.
While the diff centre is getting attended to, order a set of anti tramp bars to be fitted at the same time
