thats Di positions then as the petrol v6 and DOHC ones are looking at the van from infront top is left and btm is right :D

i'd go with guy TDi with aircon :D - or just try it with a normal Di as the V8's probly more efficient as dissipating the heat with it being ally :D

I've got a DI rad in my V8 Landrover :wink:

It has never overheated even when offroading....

It does have R/Rover Air-con fans fitted though!

Saying that.... I've never switched them on for road use!
