got some new bits for the car at the weekend.. from a scrap yard of all places

May look into 'mounting' them on the car, then send them off for modifying.. should make a noticable difference to my power steering problem. (heat)

Anybody seen any cavitation problems with the water on scoobs??

Dont forget the small oil cooler I mentioned, fitted to Toyota FWD twin cams. Simple 10mm push on fittings, quite compact, and works a treat as a PAS cooler on the return line to the reservoir.

Other interesting rads I have seen are 320td BMW has a fuel cooler. 8mm hose tails again very compact.
Another odd one is a 1.4tdi Polo. Under the drivers side floor there is a fuel cooler mounted underneath the car.

No 2 scoob will make people laugh, but shock them at the same time.
