BoldE4, Jy kom asof jy geroep is. Jy noem dat jy 'n temp meter op jou ratkas het! Hieruit moet ek aflei dat jy 'n automatiese ratkas het en dat jy die olie temp gemonitor het en besluit het dat dit te warm word.
Die vrae is as volg:
a. Is my twee aannames waar?
b. Teen watter temp het die kas geloop voor die addisionele oliekoeler?
c. Waarteen loop die kas nou en het jy dit weer in dieselfde omstandigheid getoets?
d. Het die aansporing om 'n koeler te pas gebeur tydens 'n rit in "donker" Afrika of tydens normale ritte in die RSA?
Ek het al gedink aan die ratkas temp veral as 'n mens in dik sand ry en die ratte wissel tussen eerste en tweede as gevolg van die harde werk.
Groete en welkom, Cloyd

Welcome Waldo!
I see you have some experience with the 3.2 Pajero's already - they are great engines.
It is with interest I read some of your current conversions. I am particularly interested in the following two items on your list
Perhaps we should start a new thread on this?
Regards
Bruce
