Hi Guys - Happy New Year!

Just got back from 4 weeks in Zimbabwe were I heard alot about Surfs - mainly how crap they are! It's cracked heads a-go-go all the way from the Zambezi to the Limpopo and then all the way down to the Cape! 2.8 diesels seem to be the main culprits as the 2.4 diesel and petrol engines still have fairly good reps.

A rad that is way too small and of insufficient volume too cool an engine that may be producing high temps in a high temp environment - so everyone recomends re-building the rad on my 3.0 to increase the coolant volume (and of course also increasing the expansion tank vol).

I've seen Surfs with EXTERNAL radiators in Zim! Stuck way out there in front but that is a bit too Heath Robinson for me.

Now I didn't have my rad on me to have it rebuilt in Zim, so what would I need to ask for? They will obviously have to take my old rad out, increase it's volume (making it deeper?), and then refit it or am I being dense? What do I need to ask for in order to make sure I am not hoodwinked by some rogue?

Many thanks
