      so just to confuse.


      oil cooler before the oil cooler in the rad or after...?

      I always heard that it should go before, so that rad stops the oil from getting cooler than the coolant. (ie. not almost freezing in winter)

      I have to do this myself before mid July... got all the bits, just got to get on with it.

              in that case the pipe on your right as you look at it is the feed to the rad and it makes quite a mess when your not holding the pipe as I found out
              im doing a writeup for codlord so sorry its a bit late cos that would have said.

              and shame on Tony cos I told him what pipe for next person who calls him up

                  So that is, standing in front of the 'toy' looking at the front...

                  Passenger side that has a nice bend in it... (right hand side) output of the gearbox. Right hand hose in your 2nd photo dirtydog...

                  Driver side that has a shallow bend in it... (left hand side) input to the gearbox.

                  Just to clarify... "Passenger side" into new cooler...
                  Out of new cooler into rad cooler...
                  Out of rad cooler into "Driver side"...
                  ...?

                      errrm yeah something like that - the input on the bottom right of the rad is the feed, follow that pipe back - ill post a diagram later.
