Default Seems I need a new radiator -

- as mine is leaking like a sieve, damn it.

Does anybody have any experience with these:-

Is the cheapest (new) I've found but is cheap neccesarily good?

My car runs the standard BHP btw.

looks good and its a 50mm core,if you are using a rs500 type intercooler though i should measure for clearance,as i think standard rad is 30mm?

Ok, just had a grovel around under the car with a torch, the radiator = 50 mm & I'm convinced it's the original item.

Have also found this:-

http://www.proalloy.co.uk/cgi-bin/si...13&id=proalloy

Which is 130 quid more but seems to offer more.

Again, I need somebody with experience here.

May just scrounge a 2nd hand standard 1 of a mate though, might be a bit cheaper.

& Cheap is what I am, according to the wife & she should know.

im sure standard rad isnt 50mm core,the airtec one looks fine for that price esp if your car is standard anyway

I'll have to check again then.

Or do the small turbo 1s have a bigger rad for homogolation's sake?
