Import or UK Impreza radiators
Can anyone tell me if the radiator on the UK Impreza will be the same as the one on my MY93 WRX import ? Looks like the bloody thing is leaking already and only had the car a couple of months.
Anyone know where I could get a new one online, seen them on eBay for about £107 + P&P.
Cheers,
Chris

Better to buy new. The old rads have a habit of falling apart. The plastic isnt very good on them, same as the header tank bolted to the inlet manifold..
If you choose to buy a used one, then you could end up with it falling apart too.
If you must buy used, get the newest one possible. All classic shapes are the same, apart from an auto which has a trans cooler built in.

I bought a new one from Nottingham Rads. for £116. It was delivered the next day, and the quality was excellent.
IMO, it's not worth chancing a secondhand one....If it splits an end-tank whilst you're driving, it may end up costing a lot more
