Thread: purchasing a new radiator

    Default purchasing a new radiator

    I am thinking of replacing my current radiator due to a couple of holes, is there anything better or more effective in terms of overall performance than a standard radiator? I want something that will last, will probably replace thermostat at same time.

    Yeah, I saw one on ebay last nite, was a stocky for $240, thought that there may be something with a bit more quality or heavy duty that was available.

    Ive seen copper ones on ebay for 150 something dollars and you can get the proper stock ones for 150 all the time I reckon
