Hi all,
Just wondering what the differences, if any, are between the E and AU radiators, also the Thermo's? I'm looking at doing the thermo fan mod, and can get an AU fan set complete with radiator cheap. Radiator would only be a back up as mine is fine. Just wondering if they will fit the same? Mounts the same? Don't have to change anything? Also where is the best place to buy a Davies Craig kit?

Cheers Fella's,
Mason

I think they are similair but different...

Sooo.... lol? "Will it fit or will it wont"

I can't remeber lol

I think the top mounts are different but all the outlets and alike are in the same position.

The thermo fans are different !! Don't fit !!

AU fans are a bit smaller. I used a set on my XG radiator because the EF-L type were too big.

Like these guys said they are different. But like Ford per usual, they are only slightly different but enough to have one work for you and not the other. It really depend on which mounting method will suit you. I can get you a photo of both if need be.

Stay away from the Davies Craig fans, use the thermo switch but not the fans. They are not great. I lowered my running temp by 5-10 degrees changing from Davies and Craig to EF/EL fans.

AU onwards are alloy i beleive.

Any benefits from an alloy radiator?

The alloy rads corrode very easy if not looked after as compared to brass core.Davies craig thermo switches arent very good at all because i will soon be on my 3rd unit in roughly 3 years, they just die suddenly and always just out of warranty. Just a heads up, if i did it again i would try put a sensor in the thermostat housing because drilling and tapping a hole for a sensor is much better than a permanently leaking top hose from a davies craig temp switch.
Lucky i can overide the dodgy temp switch by turing on the demister or aircon because my 5.0 would have cooked a couple of times.
