Radiator needed
Discussion
cant help but (and this is almost useless) when I've needed custom/rare radiators in the past there was a place just outside banbury that would offer an exchange or even a custom made rad or even offer to strip and rebuild.
not had to use a rad service for a few years so no longer have details.

but the point is even though I cant remember the place it may be as well to get his rebuilt. I had mine done on a very old Beemer and it came back better than if I had spent $$$$ on getting an old "new" oneStigmundfreud said:

:all comments greatly received!
I have had special rads built and rebuilt before but not ones made of plastic/aluminium with millions of special brackets, pipes,sensors and little fittings all over them (and thats just the special bits I can see!!!. Is it possible to get this style of rad rebuilt?? I suppose its worth me asking a coupe of "specialists" before I have to get the costs for a new one from Aus...

Anyone got a spare radiator for a year 2000 VT2 GTS? Mines started leaking through a split in the plastic near one of the fan assembly mounts.
I had EXACTLY the same problem on mine... managed to patch it up for a while using some pretty good glue, but it got worse.
Sorry, forgot to say got mine through Monkfish. Cause they are apparently slightly different to the monaros...

I fitted a PWR (www.pwrperformance.co.uk) rad in my ute earlier this year, 1 piece ali rad. Not cheap but you get what you pay for, I also paid a little extra for built in power steering cooler
yeah, I looked at those, they look the business. What was the arrangement for the oil cooliong, for auto box or for Power steering. I was thinking about getting an auto version rad (mines a manual) as that has oil coolers built in. I was thinking I could use those for the power steering fluid as the original PS cooling pipe in front of rad has rotted away long ago and I have it bypassed at the mo. Do you think that would work or would it just heat up the PS fluid?
