Auto gear box small rad cooler and stainless hoses ( just see it mounted in front )
New spot lights
Black wire mesh in front opening to protect rads

Looks cool I think
Shame some idiot smashed me front bumper up and paint is peeling awhile back

that little girl with the sack truck did well to get that tall post to the side of that inferior van behind you, but i dont think it will go in there.

the only reservation i have with a trans oil cooler is it will take a bit longer to get the gearbox up to temp to engage lock up in top so is it really worth it as you spend most of the time without yer caravan on the back.

Good point, Ady, personaly I think it is worth it when towing 1.6 tons on a hot day but as always a trade off.

Got to be worth it. If any concerns then provide it with a cover except when towing the caravan. But if Alacrity says they're a wise investment when towing then for me that says it all.

It would be simple to fit a bypass valve, but I wouldn't remember to switch it.

I thought about it getting up to temp to hit top gear aswell

But it doesn't seem to make any difference
Goes into top at the same distance away from my house when I'm driving
As it did when I didn't have it

And she didn't move the post NB
She lifted her dads van up onto kerb with the sack barrow
Tuff little buggers around here , they got a Russian accent
So she might have had a bit of training assistance

HAve you a link to teh cooler?

I'm sure I've seen on here a comment that the cold start gear holding might be determined by engine temp and your observation would back this up.

This one has different hoses to the one I used
But would be more suitable
All you need is 2 right angle brackets and screws for fixing and 2 jubilee clips
