After a period away from PH due to the joys of work being too busy I'm back.

But, the Cerb has a weeping radiator which is getting progressivly worse.

Can anyone recomend somewhere in Kent/Sussex that can recore or provide an exchange at short notice - like before Thursday !? (or anyone happen to have an old (whole) rad lying around I could buy from them ?)

Thanks guys

Hi Olly,

I have used Serck in the past, admittedly a long time ago, looking at their web site there's a branch in Maidstone:

SerckIntertrusk
Unit AA,
St Michael's Close,
Aylesford Maidstone,
Kent
ME20 7BU

TEL No:
01622 882228
FAX No:
01622 718224

www.serckintertruck.co.uk/

I have an old, leaky non-aircon (single fan) rad' in my lockup if you wanted to get that recored and I'll have your old one, so you only have to get under the car for one day.

ATB and good luck

Tim

Olly,

I used this place a while ago to recon my Cerb Rad.

South London Radiators
rear of 10, Bromley Rd, Beckenham, Kent BR3 5JE
Tel: 020 8650 8986

They seemed to do a good job for a reasonable fee.

Thanks lake, I'll give them a call in a bit.

Looks like the car needs an MOT as well (I should really check these things more regularly !), so I'm going to miss my Thursday deadline, but never mind - not exactly perfect driving weather anyway (and means I have longer to sort out the rad !)

SerckIntertrusk want £130 + VAT (this is for a new core) - how does that compare to South London Rads ?

Brighton Radiators in Newhaven did mine on a 24 hour turnaround for £129.
89, RAILWAY ROAD, Newhaven, East Sussex BN9 0AY
Tel: 01273 611102.

Dream Machines send all their re-cores to him as well so he's got plenty of the right cores in stock usually.
