I have just noticed something interesting, after looking through the FSM I was looking at the radiator and cooling system setup and noticed that in the LHD versions the fans are on the opposite sides of the radiator ie the clutch fan is on the "hot" side where as the electric fan is on the "cool" side.
I wonder if this has any bearing on any "cooling" issues?
This also means that the factory aux cooler is in the air path of the clutch fan in the LHD models whereas ours are in the air path of the lower aiflow electric fan.
So that would, to me at least, indicate that the internal cooler is on the "hot" side of the radiator and the aux cooler gets less airflow, isn't that a double wammy for a less than efficient system especially in a hotter climate????

I would be curous to see what others make of this????
