Are you sure the rad has gone and its not just a hose split? It squite common to have hose failure spriying a fine jet onto the engine, giving big steam...

Just a though.

The UK and Jap are both the same spec, I had to replace mine a few months back on my MY97WRX and got a Nissens pattern part for just under £150 from a local radiator specialist.

No problems with the fit either.

Ring me with a C/card number and we can get it away on Monday to be with you Tuesday unless you are close to us or perhaps in the Essex /Herts direction as we are going there on Monday anyway.
