TVR CERBERA 4.5 AJP RADIATOR WHERE TO BUY?

Where in UK are you?
Been thinking about this for a while. Another PHer gave me a radiator that needs re-coring. I figured I might need it for either of mine at some point, but so far so good.
My idea was a radiator 'pool' so I give this one to someone who pays for the recore, they then keep hold of the old one - or return it to me to store ready for next loop.
But if yours is properly knackered maybe it wouldn't work like this?

Just brought my 4.2 leaking radiator to a radiator specialist nearby. He reckonised it immediatly, thats from a TVR he said. He further told me that the sides are from Land Rover, only with a wider core for TVR.
He had a lot of experience with this type of radiators, because he repaired and still does repair radiators for the Dutch TVR importer.
It's ready next week, with a brand new core, cannot be better is guess.

Thanks for the info guys, it's been in the garage now for a couple of weeks need to get her back and sorted

Is this definitely the right rad? I can't find one for less, but I'll probably go for a recore as long as there's a significant saving.

My Rad is a fragile & may need replacing but I'm confused now as in the Alternative parts it says its a Modified Range Rover Rad ?

Is that a bare rad for that price ? Or did you get the surrounding cowls/panels etc included ?

Everone else appears to charge in the 370-390, or more !!! So assumed as you generally don't get something for nothing, these other suppliers gave you more bits in their pack ???

except for the sp6 models of course.. and the last v8 cerbs with ali centres/plastic end tanks and straight pipe fittings on both end tanks

So that's why the tvr parts suppliers list a different rad for the cerbera sp6 then? with different pipes on the end tanks? They are different despite what you think you remember. Also the early chims/griffs came with a 3 core rad, not the 4 core fitted to cerbs (the cores are visibly different to even the untrained eye)... though latterly the same aftermarket alloy rads are used across the chim/griff and cerb V8 range with a straight top hose outlet and curved bottom hose outlet.

We all have off days.

Give our inside source the benefit of the doubt. Don't forget, he probably lost his job when it all went pear shaped, and yet he is still here giving people the benefit of his knowledge (admittedly interspersed with less constructive comments).

I am on another model forum where there was a regular contributor who was an owner and a traffic officer - his insights were absolutely invaluable, and yet certain people decided to pis5 him off for no good reason at all, we were all the poorer when he left.
