Radiator

[nasz]

Mines sprung a leak!

Anyone know what radiator it is? What donor vehicle etc.

I have an early Chim - 1994

Boy... it's cold out there!!!

Doesn't really matter what it is. Just take it to a rad specialist and get it re-cored.
It will be better than new if you get it recored to a higher spec / density, and you won't have to worry about souring the 'right' one.

Added bonus is that it's cheaper too.

Got a quote from 2 re-corers and it was more expensive than a trade price ally rad. So I thought I'd go for that, but not sure which one exactly.

nasz,

Sorry to hear about the problem with the rad, just had mine repaired, cost £100 (cash though)for a repair to both headers, my car is a 93 chim, I was told that the rad was off a Range Rover, the chap reckoned that the inlet and outlet pipes had been altered?

Considered an alloy too,some reckon that these are less efficient than the copper jobbies....they do look prettier though! My rad had four cores so this would have been around £300-£350 for an alloy item, but this would have been wider than the copper one.

Fitted it myself easy enough job to do.
