Default 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

got my new one from ebay, in total was 120quid with p&p. my endtank split on the motorway only reason i noticed was the steam coming thru the lovely holes in the bonnet!


buy new, much cheaper in the long run!

I phoned the local motor factors... one can't get hold of a new replacement, and Partco wanted £200+VAT for one. So eBay it is then, or Nottingham Rads.
