I have just picked up my bay window scoby conversion (told a ej20but pulling like the original 1600 ), I'm very unhappy with the radiator poistion which is in the engine bay, the convertor states mounting the radiator underneath the van is a bad idea, could I have advice on this also are there any UK converters who mount the radiator underneath if so could I have there details. Thanks

worst place for them unless they've got ducting going to them

Why are you lowered? I'm not. I've had 3 years and gawd knows how much miles under her belt. Fan doesn't come on on m/way cruising. If you're lowered you will have problems.

Yeah, look on here under "kooling" "show us our rads - buses" Simples
Now that's two Mars bars you owe me. Let me guess you didn't know the betting stakes.
Double or quits time....................
*S* did the conversion
Slab of beer and 3 mars bars question....
Does it start from cold?
Bonus question, is the fan manual control or is it from an aftermarket sensor ie not ECU control? _________________ The advice you receive on here is worth the paper it's written on.

why would a 2000 cc water cooled pull like a 1600cc air cooled all conditions being the same? someone please answer this one to alleviate fears on those contemplating a conversion _________________ hopefully - no longer spanner at the ready (spanner mkononi)
