Thanks for the pics both, very interesting (love the XC90 cooler!).

I've just bought a small external transmission cooler from A Saab Turbo that was going cheap, so I'll look at putting that on next year.

CNG, do you think a thermostat is necessary given that I'm not going to be going any further north than Yorkshire in the winter - I don't think the added cooling of the fluid should be an issue? Or do you disagree?

When the cooler is installed, I'll add the filter of course, might even do that before then as I want to do a fluid change this summer/autumn.

Thanks

EDIT - Can I see some more pics of that XC90 cooler please - how you have plumbed it in etc. Thanks!
