my rad on rst cabrio has seen better dasy and its very crusty which is causing the car to get a bit hot and think it might be getting blokced too, so i was thinking of finding a 2nd hand alloy whast the going rate for these? cheers billy

 

ballpark figure i reckon about 130 squid

 

Spend your money on a BRAND NEW standard Rad.

Thats what my 350bhp CVH runs.

 

what blew at woodbridge thou?

 

The head gasket.

 

whats wrong with any ally rad though apart from having to polish it to keep it looking clean! i got an autspecialists one and its going ok!

 

one of these for me then


i thought you blew the end cap off

 

Where can you get one of them then??

 

its the conduction properties of alloy and copper cores that makes the difference I believe

I've never had any cooling issue's despite the fact that I have always run a standard rad, but know of cars with alloy rads that overheat. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The standard one works fine.

As long as you don't expect too much of it. I run twin fans and have altered the bumper to aid airflow. I also run an 82° Thermostat.
