They are for RHD cars, but the ones in your photos are completely different?

One of the matrix ones comes stright out towards the front of the car, joins a metal pipe, that then connects to the thermostat housing., the other goes round the back of the block into the oil modine i think.



1.Come out of the top of the heater matrix IIRC and connects to a metal pipe, that runs along the head to the thermostat housing.

2. Connects the metal pipe to the thermostat housing

3. Runs along the back of the block, then goes under the inlet manifold to the oil modine.

This is for a 4x4 car, which i assume yours is going by the bulkhead?

I've had exact these 4 years ago and we could only use 2 and 3 with cutting, 1 is completely useless.
I think it's the opposite way on 4x4 LHD cars
Is there no picture how the heater matrix piping goes on a RHD car??

The other lower heater matrix hose goes round the back of the block and under the inlet manifold then, straight into the oil modine, no valve is present.

Yes Marco hose 3 is the lower pipe from bulkhead and runs to modine. Can be a pain the arse to fit when engine is built so best to fit when head is off. I struggled for ages doing it with head and inlet fitted.

Should be no problem fitting as the engine will be out for rebuild
