NO G/Box oil cooler scorpio 24v will it run OK?

Ive had a disaster and next Friday I'm going away on an 80 mile trip and one of the pipes of my oil cooler has snapped. I've removed the cooler and placed a copper pipe to bypass it (temporarily). will it overheat on an 80 mile journey? i will try and get a tube tig welded to it if i can!
any help and advice appreciated Cry
thanks

I've seen a few run ok with them removed.
A replacement should be sourced to assist any over heating issues though.

Should be fine provided you aren't towing anything or slipping the torque converter a lot (this is where the majority of the heat is generated).

I usually see them with the two rubber pipes joined with a bit of copper pipe and a couple of jubilee clips 
Never heard of any problems with that set up.

Quite so Stuart,after all,many cars only have the rad cooler,the problems occur when towing in hilly terrain.
