Definitely worth having as it will allow the engine to run cooler. Also works well as a crumple zone biggrin

I've heard recores at slightly less than that but not a lot. I know Boston Radiator Services who have a good reputation advertise on ebay.

If you tell ACT you are a member of the TVR Car Club (assuming you are!) they will give you a discount. I think mine came in close to £400.

When I contacted the sellers of this they could not guarantee it would fit. They would accept return if effectively it was unopened. It was a bit too much of a risk for me, so I’ve gone for the aluminium radiator (£395) and silicone hoses (£169) from TVRcarparts.

Hopefully I will be getting my car back next week, after nearly seven weeks away during the best spring sunshine ever…biggrin
