    sounds about the right price to me, for a genuine one!
    i also find roughtrax to be very good and reliable.

          Is that a genuine Toy one Rich? What condition? Think I'd rather buy an old Toy one and have it refurbished rather than another cheapo one.

          Mine £109 one has lasted 2 years now but is full of tiny weeping leaks. I plan on changing it for a genuine one before next year.

            I got a reconditioned one from Roughtrax as a cheaper alternative

            Only been on for a couple of months but so far so good, looked to be good quality but only time will tell i guess.

              I had a rad from that eblag company. It burst too so i sent it back for a refund (luckily it was still under warranty)

              I then went to roughtrax for a recon one. payed up online. Got a phone call from them the day after, saying they had no recon ones left they would send me a new one. fine me thinks, a new one. when it arrived guess what, same box, same packing, same rad as ebay guy. i rang roughtrax and explained the situation, i was assured (rather rudely at that) that they only sell high quality goods. not even 6 months later pop it goes again. sent back to roughtrax and i think i now have a recon toyota rad.

              morel of storey, keep with toyota. cheep aint worth the risk.

                Being a lowly 2.4 (auto)owner, I have one of the Roughtrax rads, it's not a genuine Toyota rad, but it's the next best thing, excellent quality.
                It's been on my truck for two years now, and is now cooling a 4.0 V8 no problems. (£165 plus vat)

                Sometimes you 3 litre boys do get shafted eh?
