Morning

I'm looking to replace the rad on my chim. There seems to be a few to choose from and wondered if anyone had any recommendations? I've looked at ACT, arron radiator and racetech. Has anyone got one of these? Also can you upgrade the fans for better cooling?

Thanks in advance

Gareth

There's a lot of corrosion on the rad and the fins have started to break. Just wanting to change it before the enevitable happens.

Is there a difference in the cooling?
If I'm on the motorway it will happily sit at 70-80 but in slope/stationary traffic it goes above 90 and the fans kick in quite regularly.

When my car hits 90 it stays at 90 and dosent go down unless I hit the motorway.

Thanks for all the replies. Not going to fit an aluminium rad now.
Excellent advice

I spoke with Richard at Hexham Horseless Carriages on Thursday as I get all my work done there. He said I could get a refurbed rad or go for a radtech alloy rad that he said were very good. The issue with my rad is corrosion and it's not cooling efficiently. So a recore is not an option

I've heard good and bad from both options
