Ok so my classic uk 2000 turbo (year 2000 too) needs a new rad as its weeping out the bottom. Where's a good place to get one? Subaru want £405, ECP only does EIS brand which, by a quick google, seem to be crap (but are cheaper at £80. I've read Nissens is a good aftermarket make to go for but can't actually find any one selling them. Any experience with rads or suggestions would be gratefully received.
Really need to get this sorted as soon as. Would also be interested in a good second hand one near by (Bracknell) if anyone's got one...

(edit: its a non A/C if that makes a difference)

 

Hi,

Have a look at this item on E-Bay - 281055316404

I've had a rad from these guys before, albeit not for my Subaru, but it was spot on for several years !

Hope helps,

 

^+ Just put a small phillips screwdriver through all of the small rads connectors as I have seen blocked holes where excess plastic hasn't quite left enough flow People think they have an airlock but in actual fact they just need to free up the connector

 

I found this Nissens rad on ebay for 65 quid delivered. Thought its a bit too good to be true as that's about half the price a lot of people are selling them for but took a punt on it. Wasn't sure about it being posted either as half expected it to take ages and turn up bent, but it came in 2 working days and very well packaged. All sorted Only thing is it come with 2 pipes sticking out the side that aren't used on my car (automatic transmission cooler I think) but they don't get in the way or anything.

 

Wnen I had to swap mine, running 400/400 on a forged 2.5, I bought localy. The guy gave me a two year guarantee and two new Jubilee clips, good ones, in the deal, £65. (2010)
