OK, so I bought ESR79 for my 2.5N/A and its not the same as the one in my LR.
It wasn't as deep as the original and the connections are different; on my old one the in/out pipes sit straight and the new one has a bend on the top pipe (passenger side). There are 2 little pipe connections at the top drivers side whereas the old one has a single connection (connected to the expansion tank) and a location for a thermoswitch.
So what rad do I have in it at the moment? Its a 1990 90, it WAS a 2.5 Petrol, but according to Craddocks this is the same part
SO does anyone want a BRAND NEW, in original box ESR79 radiator - 2.25 Petrol - H/duty, 2.5 Petrol to FA389980 without oil cooler, 2.5 N/Asp Diesel to FA389980 without oil cooler.
In the picture below I have highlighted the main differences, to be honest if these were the same I would have fit it. However since they seem quite different I would like to replace it like for like because it would appear the rad I have at the moment is a bigger rad, in my book, thats a good thing.
