hmmmm my radiator failed this morning coolant all over the carpark
so had a little look on ebay there is a seller on there iezuraparts
Seem to be cheapest, but the radiator will apparently fit both auto an manuals (mines auto)

I rang them up an the difference is a oil cooling pipe

Has any one got any experience of these guys and do they know if there are any issues with fitting this rad


Thanx

Hi
Just got mine from them yesterday....looks O.K.
Just dropped the coolant, and leaving it overnight to drain. Several members have been happy with this guy's radiators, and the good news is that they are all metal, so no top joint to fail where the matrix joins the header tank. There is an overflow pipe which needs blocking off, otherwise all straightforward...Fact sheet in member's area on "how to do it"
Good luck
Helen

Yeah, no problems with mine. I have a manual bongo, so was a bit worried when I saw the extra pipes at the bottom. I contacted them, and was assured it was ok. So far, so good. :D

One thing you might need to do is block the small pipe which lies just underneath the rad cap, some vehicles must need this? I already had a radiator sealant, a bit like "Chemical Metal," so I block the whole length of the pipe with it.
