New radiator required 08 v8 vantage

[Swampyv8]

As the title, had the pressure checked and can see radiator pissing coolant.

A lot of forums etc say radiator is a jaguar, have we got any links for what I need to get etc?

Really appreciate any help on this, need to get it fixed asap obvs.

Is this any good? Any experience with Radtec or Roose?

I had a look at this with my DB9 a few years ago, the jag ones are similar but not the same, not sure about the vantage ones.

Mine was from the company who manufactures the rads for AM, not sure now.

My topic about it in 2019.

Thanks. I asked about it on fb forums and got this

Hey, check out NISSENS Engine radiator in the AUTODOC app https://m.autodoc.co.uk/nissens/7537611

Few said they fitted it with no problems and for that price, worth a shot I’d say.

Have a chat with AM performance Macclesfield. They can supply replacement radiators that stronger than the original, which are prone to deformation and partly plastic I believe.

Has anyone used the Nissens radiator on their V8? Any warnings or problems?

I’ve had a Radtec radiator made for another car, a Jag not Aston, and it’s been great. Nice company to deal with too.
