What price changing it twice or overheating the motor when it falls apart, some things arn't worth the hassle just trying to save a few £££'s

the stories i've heard i was expecting the roughtrax one to be twice the price. It's £25 FFS let a few more moths out your wallets and buy the better rad

Oops, perhaps made a bit of a booboo. The question is:

Will it last me to the south of Italy and back?

New Price: RECONDITIONED radiator with manual transmission 2.4 TD Fitted with new top tank that often leaks,

hehe i know what this means but depends how you read it!

when are you going to italy? were driving over mid august.

if you ordered it this morning, they may not have sent it out yet?

Well sorry guys I opted for the cheap option £125, as I have had to MOT and Tax the car this month as well as pay for my lil boys Birthday party. Fitting was easy peasy took a whole 50 mins! I'll be posting back in a few months crying how my new rad has split maybe...... It cured my heating problem so Im well chuffed I can actually drive over 50mph ! Time to get all muddy now

keep the old one for a bit if things start playing up with the new one, have the old one re-corred utilising the top and bottom tanks with a higher rated core.
I had mine rebuilt the ATF cooler was a bit sus and it blocked the bottom outlet a fair bit, so the guy made a new bottom tank useing the connectors off the old one and substituted an ATF cooler from...... sorry guys a big engine L.R. have to say works a treat....Oh yes and seem to remember it was no more than a standard rad
There is a lot of info on the ausie site re overheating issues
