Radiators

Post by gertrude » Fri Aug 25, 2006 8:53 pm

Need a new rad. and have been searching for best option.
See that they are available on ebay at about 1/2 price (124.2 + 6.50 p and p) of bongobits.com (245.90 + p and p)
Described on ebay as made by Iezuras and claims that they are suitable for 95-99 2.5 Turbo Diesel (wl-t) suitable for auto and manual, 1 year warranty, high quality, fully tested blah, blah.
Anybody bought from this supplier, trades as [email protected] out of UK. 99.8% positive responses out of 560 responses.

Any bongoers got any experience of this supplier please?

Got mine from ebay a couple of weeks ago. Very prompt delivery. Mechanic said it was a better rad. than the original. Just be very careful with following the instructions to the letter when replacing the coolant.

Thanks Vic. Sorry to be a pain but can you elaborate what you mean re: following to the letter the instructions?

What Vic means is that you have to follow the 23 point procedure for draining and replacing the coolant TO THE LETTER or you will end up with an airlock. The procedure can be found online at http://www.repairmanual.co.nz or in the Workshop Manual (available next week).
