persoanlly, I would go with the all ALi ones, consdering the hassle of changing the rad, the idea of putting the same type back inseems like asking for it...

Ali ones a must.....

S1 or S2 ?

Worth putting in a stainless toe eye and check the fan to make sure that's ok (seize real easy) if its an S2 then controls for HVAC.....

I put mine into GST in newmarket and it took them more than 4 hours to get the clam off as all the cheapo fixings had rusted frown

Prepare for a fight.....
