But Reenen should know not to argue with Allknowing Grips. The fact that Reenen has turbo'd more TD27 and TD42 IDI engines than anybody else on this forum doesn't hold any merit to him.

Also I go out on numerous 4x4 trips with lots of different 4x4`s. I see things happening around me.
Bigger intercoolers is juis wat my egt’s opgelos het. Ek hardlooo die grootstes wat ek frontmount kan insit.BushWacker wrote:Ford Transit engines in Pumas also can get bit too hot & bothered under heavy load in Kalahari etc so the canny Landymen put a bigger intercooler in etc …
maybe Patrollers should try that ?

Key to keeping it from getting hot is a properly working cooling system. An appropriate sized intercooler and correct tuning. My car doesn't get hot. Normal cruising temps with the aircon on sit around 78 degrees. Towing the fully loaded camper trailer is around 83 degrees.
Max temp for the last few months was 100 degrees driving back from river trip (still loaded( up Modjadjies kloof at 100-110km/h GPS speed.
... much as I hate to say it
... yes ... this is also a moot point ...
