Does the 4.3 and the 5 litre use the same rad does anyone know ?

Well I sold my 4.3 rad to a chap who put it in his 500 if that helps ?

Bog standard RangeRover Rad with modified lugs.
Lugs in the same position throughout the range i believe

No it's not. It uses a Rover core but has different mountings and pipework and is missing an optional oil cooler and other bits and pieces that the Rangie often has.

Don't go buy a Rangie Rad as it is a waste of money. Get the original one recored - its cheaper and ensures that it will fit.

...and make sure it is mounted on rubber bushes as this seems to prolong the life of the radiator as it flexes quite a bit and is otherwise prone to stress cracking...I know!

Sorry Steve, I did say they had modified lugs but i guess I wasn't very clear in that they are not identical.
In me original post I was referring to the TVR lug locations being the same for Chimps and Griffs.

No problem - I thought that's what you meant. Just wanted to stop someone reading this, buying a Rangie Rad, finding it doesn't fit and then get stung for a 20% return fee - you asked for a rangie rad, sir and that's what we gave you.

Happens more often than you think....

I think the 4.3 has the same rad as the old Sherpa van mate!

Steve,
I was told that the Tuscan rad is also the same, is that correct?

[shpub]

Don't know. My Cerb has a Griff 3 core rad in it so they tend to be pretty interchangable but don't assume anything.
