Its a bit hard to see without taking out the grille and stuff just it just mounts to one existing bolt and ya drill 2 small holes... Ill see if i cant get a picture. Just keep an eye on ebay or go to your local auto parts store, they would be able to order one for ya. Wouldnt pay more than 160 - 170 for the pwr one.

Just spoke to guys at PWR & the part no's previously posted are for a universal kit that will fit a BA with small modifications to the cooler. However after letting them know of the specific probs our model has(BA) Apparently they get a calla day about a cooler for a BA or BF They have agreed to make a specific cooler that will fit a BA perfectly. Sales for this product will commence in 4 weeks time. About the $130 mark!

It's pretty bloody big, and the kit was designed for a BA with brackets, hoses and fittings, basically eveything you need. Set me back about $160. I just adapted it to fit my EL.  oooh nice kit - where did it come from at that price? |

Maybe its luck.
I dont have one on my BA and so far all has been ok. The good thing is but we service the auto regulary.

Ive always not liked the alloy radiators. I'll be doing copper in my XF to make sure. I also run the CouplerTec stuff on the car and I swear that accelerates the process (but radiators are easier to change than panels)
The comment about voltage though is really important. Nigel |

There are better, smaller and more efficient coolers around, this was the most cost effective option at the time. |

the one problem with bypassing the radiator is it also works as a heater to bring the trans oil to operating temperature within a shorter period of time, so if your car is used mainly for short trips, bypassing the radiator cooler will shorten your transmission life due to longer warm up times.
