Best coolant for water to air inter cooler
Have a alloy inter cooler to fit to my td42, has anyone found if a particular fluid works best? Will be fitting a sep radiator in front of main rad.
Also is fitting an electric fan needed or does std engine fan pull enough air flow?

Re: Stripped Thread at recovery Point Fix?
Im no expert on the stock nuts on these, but I would suspect if your've stripped threads that the nuts aren't HT (meaning a 8.8 or higher) im unsure that the pulling would have stripped threads - technically the load is a shear on the bolt - not a tensile load on the threads If your captive nuts are...

Re: Stripped Thread at recovery Point Fix?
don't weld a high tensile nut or bolt unless you really understand welding these materials
you will end up with a brittle layer at the weld interface, parent metal in the HT nut.
Subject to premature failure
you can weld HT, but you need plenty of pre heat

Ive just had my Radiator cleaned (50%) blocked, the rad guy said quite common on the cross flow radiators. ive got a TD42.

Re: Rear mounting Elec winch in GQ?
Do you want to winch forward? or are you after a recovery winch to drag yourself out, like this set up? Jono's not long ago finished it.
yes, aim is for it to be setup for fwd winching, but of course with snatch block setup for rear winching such as recovery.

Is the LSd working right on the v8 lux?, on the uphill winch piece it didn't seem to be engaging.
