Oil Cooler for 3AJ Wanted
Seeing JimboC's post about parts reminded me that I am looking for an oil cooler for my 3AJ.
I had a larger one made and fitted between the front forks for my trip through Africa, but am concerned that it's size is too big for the colder European climate and could damage my engine.
Anyone got a spare or can recommend a good wrecker in London?

You don't need the oil cooler at all really - my SRX (1VJ engine) ran without one in Australia without any problems. Included high-rev runs on hot days.
However I have an original if you want to swap (with extra cash heading your way).

Hi
Have you considered fitting an oil thermostat?
I used one( supplied by Wunderlich, Germany ) to overcome this potential problem on both my 3AJ Tenere & my girlfriends XT600E
