Hello Steve,

I am unable to say whether or not an early Range Rover radiator,..ie prior to 1974 will fit, but I would be inclined to think not. Size wise, RR radiators have a significantly larger surface area so that alone prevents their fitment.

Best bet I feel is to obtain a second hand one of the correct type,...manual and automatic cars have different radiators, but the basic design for each type is the same. Have that unit recored,...a radiator shop would have no problem fitting a new core.

Another forum member will no doubt suggest a good place to obtain a second hand one, and then a good business to fit a new core.

Ron.
