Transmission Cooler Replacement.

My Bog Brush (Trans Cooler) has perished on the LSE. My copy of Rave doesn't seem to cover it at all and there's no mention of it in the haynes manual either.

I've had a quick peep and replacing through the front grill seems to be the best way to go.

Can anybody that's done this before shed any light? Cheers.

Pop the front grille off, unbolt the small fans either side of the trans cooler, then soak the nuts either side of the cooler in WD40. Simple case of removing the nuts either side of the cooler after this, and it should just pull off.

Incidentally...I have a cooler for sale in good condition.

Thanks for that Vogue. Seems simple enough but as it looks original guess there could be some grief with 20 year old nuts and bolts!!

Any idea what year the cooler is from. Its a Vin sensitive part and needs to be from a KA vin number onwards.

Thanks for the offer.

I'll have a look at the cooler next time I'm at my unit to confirm fitment.

I used a very large adjustable spanner to get mine off, but it took some doing.

Persevere and it will come off.

I changed the cooler on my 84 vogue (as I couldn't fit the winch in so got a smaller one) so I have got a cooler that looks like a elongated D if this is the right one you are welcome to it for £5 and the price of P&P. If not don't worry and if you want a photo no probs.
