Hi all, sorry if this has been asked before but. does anyone know of a good radiator recorer in or around the Weston super mare area? My rad is passed its best I think as was running hot the other day after a rant, around 100 and spends a lot of time at 90 with the fans on. I looked at the rad and a lot of the fins are missing and theres considerable what looks like copper corrosion there. Time for a recore I think.

Many thanks
Mike

Thanks guys. I've spoken to arrow radiators in Avonmouth and they wanted £225. Does that sound about right or is it a bit steal. Cheers

While I think about it. What's do you guys think is the best thermostat temperature to have. Ie cooler or normal. Same with the otter switch is it better to have a cooler fan kick in? Sorry for the questions but may change.them whilst at it. Thanks

Hi milky. I thought so too but called another company and they quoted the same. Something to do with the price of copper is high.
