New Radiator

[dmckelv12]

Hi all - Could be a long shot but here goes.....

Does anyone have a spare radiator doesn't leak water that they would like to exchange cash for????
The bottom of my rad has disintergrated :evil:

My other option could be to get it re-cored.

Cheers

i got one from martin, i took it to my local rad repairer and he said its not a standard core so its best to get a new rad.

It is a standard core, My radiator builder gets new cores and only reuses the end tanks if they are good.

Its looking like a re-core at the moment, gonna contact a local rad specialist and hope for the best!!!!
The end tanks on mine are metal (or brass) so will that matter if i go for a re-core? They seem in good condition.

Cheers - Kelv - with withdrawal symtoms from not driving the D....

Hi Kelvin

If your end tanks are metal then your rad is an aftermarket replacement already.

[dmckelv12]

So i should be able to get it re-cored then????

Kelvin,

As a temporary fix - you're welcome to one of our secondhand plastic radiators. The ones we have work fine - it's just that as a rule, we only ever fit brass - so we have a growing collection of old plastic ones!

Free to you if you want to come and collect it.

Thanks

Darren

PJ Grady (my saviours) have sorted me a rad out so 16686 should be back owning the streets again.

Soon....

Yippeee!!!!!

No problem Kelvin!

Hope it works OK - just be careful of that little plastic tube at the top - they're prone to snapping!

Any problems - give us a shout.

Best regards

Darren
