Hi Julian,
I had a Tombo fitted on my 4.2D when it was at Michael's. It brought the temps down considerably! Where I once hit 99C with the old radiator, also aluminium if I remember correctly (my car is Y61); with the Tombo I have only gone up to about 93C. Normally my car runs around 80-85C - take into consideration that I have a grass-seed net on the bull bar, which restricts air flow.
Tombo radiator was also roughly 1/3 the price of a new Nissan Radiator.
