Land Rover Part Number: BTP1826 - Left-Hand Radiator and Intercooler Frame
BTP1826 is a left-hand radiator and intercooler frame that secures the radiator assembly and interfaces with the intercooler on 300Tdi Defender models. The panel provides the factory mounting points that position the radiator to maintain the required clearance and airflow path in the engine bay; correct alignment keeps the radiator and intercooler seated and retains the original spacing to adjacent components. Damage, bending or missing fasteners on this frame can allow movement of the cooling assemblies, which may lead to misaligned hoses or restricted airflow, so replacing a damaged panel restores the designed mounting geometry and allows secure refitting of the radiator and intercooler. Fitment corresponds to the left-hand side arrangement used with 4-cylinder 300Tdi cooling assemblies up to the VIN shown in the compatibility data below.
Use the compatibility data below to confirm fitment against your V.I.N.

Inspect the frame whenever the cooling assembly is removed or after any front-end impact; replace it if it is bent, cracked or if mounting points or fasteners are damaged, since these faults can allow movement of the radiator or intercooler. If unsure, consult a qualified technician or refer to the vehicle manual.
