cheers, Ginger.


P.S the car is a RWD cossie S2 ERST, Stage 3 road car.

 

I think ive asked this before and so have others but its what you pay for, if its cheap then i cant see it lasting that long but i may be wrong and others might have brought this and there good.

Is there not welded that well it will leak over time i guess.

Im sure someone will shed some real light over this as im not a pro...

 

It's just made without the usual ridiculous mark up by the seller, it may well be made in a different country where labour/materials are cheaper, that may explain the price.
I don't know you'd be any worse off with this than 1 of the big names, as I've never yet heard of the big boys in this game fixing/replacing under warranty, even when there are issues like breakages leaks etc.
Personally I'd go for a airtec, very solidly built, not the prettiest but do the job, unnecessarily heavy though!!

i put a similar thread up a while ago when my standard radiator burst. Several people said they were using them with no problem. Ive had one on mine now for a good 6-8 months and its been fine

 

Cheers mate, i don't need one for a few months yet so i'll be getting back to you some point in the future to see how it's going if you dont mind



Ginger,

P.S thanks for the other replies aswell.....

 

no problem.
