TD5 radiator

diver · Nov 29, 2011

I think I already know the answer to this but I hope someone knows otherwise. Is it possible to change the radiator on a TD5 without removing the fan?
Can't move the bloody thing and yes I am trying to undo it the right way.

Yes, I've beaten the crap out of it and it's just laughing at me.
But, is it possible to do the job with the fan in place? Somebody please say yes.
Failing that, its off to difflock for their special spanner and locking tool.

if it was a defender then yes the rad can come out with the fan on ..but the disco is not so easy . the fan will have to come out to get the rad out
