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.Cutting steps in the roof of the world

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)
