I replaced my rad with an an all alloy JAPspeed item.
For the money £150 or so i thought was a really well made bit of kit, and with it being fully welded alloy compared to the plastic and folded alloy OE one it made sense to me, and should last, (although original had done well for 15 years)
Mine is about twice as thick as the original and definitely runs cooler.
As said above, to me looks a much better made product than the OE one.

Running a full alloy one on mine, it does cool better for sure, although it never used to overheat on the old one .
One thing it likes to do is burn the **** out of my hand everytime i'm under the bonnet lol.

I saw the £35 radiators and then bought a alloy one for £150.
There will be a good reason why they only cost £35, i wasn't willing to find out what that is.
Pay your money and take your chance.

I bought an aluminium rad from fleabay. Cost a lot, but I prefer the look of the Aluminium rad. As others have said the cooling ability of OEM rads is perfectly fine, mine just split and I thought it be nice to refresh the look a bit.
