Oil cooler. A big one
oil cooler, follow the hoses back from the cooler and you will see....
Thought as much from where the hoses go to. Was this a standard item on some XE's then?
That's enormous how tall is it
Will get another pic up in a min mate
That's a rather large cooler
You'll find those pipes go to a sandwich plate above the oil filter on the oil pump which is hopefully thermostatically controlled so it doesn't over cool
I will have a look and get some more pics over the next few days - I had no idea it had one fitted! I now need to learn about them haha - also concerned about what you said about control..... Will have to investigate...
Wow that's a monster.
