WTD. Oil cooler, what have you got?

I,m after a universal oil cooler to put on my digger, the hydraulic is getting very hot so ideally want something with 1/2" BSP fittings and some bits of hose so I can cut into the fluid return path.

Beer tokens waiting.

Cheers Mark

A oil to air cooler may not help much as there won't be much air flow over it, unless you fit a fan too. Is there room to fit a oil to water cooler and fit it behind the oil filter? That's assuming it's not an air-cooled engine?!

I have a cooler in v good condition (19 row IIRC), can't remember the fitting size but have some suitable hose to go with it. Can dig out details/photos if you're interested. Say £50 for cooler and hose? If you're doing Bedford on Monday can bring it along.

Air cooled engine, honda clone so no power to run a fan unfortunately

19 row will not cut it, thanks for the offer.

Thinking outside the box I could weld up an landrover TDI intercooler as these are nice and large, anyone got one of these?
