Just been reading the TVR CC pages re the Silverstone British Le mans weekend
£10 for weekend rather than the normal price of £35. Good value anyone going,
PS not an advert just curious.

Hi Nigel do you have a link or let me know when it's on.

As my be interested if I can get the TVR sorted.

Looks like I may just fit a new Rad, as they are about £130 + vat and shipping.

Leigh,

any contact details for the place you can get a rad for £130 as I may need a new one soon.

Also planning to be at the ELMS weekend and the 24Hour race the weekend before, marshalling. As I am coming down from Scotland and am camping both weekends no TVR frown.

I just doubled check and mine had a 4448 sicker on it.

Steve heath say they may have been moded but all the sizes look correct, but they may not have the cowling screw holes or the otter hole in them.

For the price I will get one and see, if not well send back or sell on ebay.

Hi Leigh - watch out for the orientation of the inlet and outlet pipes fella.. I got hold of one for my old 400SE and found out the size etc was all ok but the pipes were the wrong way round so had the old one refurbished and no probs after that yes I think it was £135 12 month ago.

Well on all the pic's they look right. and the same as I have.

Spoke to a local re-core place, and he quoted me 140+ for a new rad and 180 for a re-core,

He said the price of copper and cores have gone though the roof plus the cost of labour.

he said he should be able to mod a new one If I have a problem.

But going to leven tonight to look at the Ali ones to see if they would fit.

Yes I remember you in your red 350.

At least I know why I had heating problems.
