Any chance anyone has a rad available, within easy travelling distance of chester?
I'm not a tight **** and refusing to buy new, just think the chances of getting one delivered by end of day tomorrow are slimmer than a slim thing
cheers

 

Do you know anyone coming down my way? I have one but sadly I'm a couple of hours away from you.

 

Mate, mine came from a local guy, found via www.yell.com, was the same price as ebay, identical to the old one, (except without the hole).

 

Hi Steve wish you had asked last time you were over as I am sure I have one knockin about fans and all. I am not sure if its any good I bought it for the fans but never ended up needing them. You can have it for free but like i say unless you can pressure test it it may be leaking just don't know.

 

cheers fellas, if it had gone last weekend i was in brighton, so could have diverted your way Paulo p, but chances of getting that way are remote.
Thanks alcazar, have found a few, Well quite a few on ebay, and very reasonably priced but nothing local ish that i could get to with a damaged rad, scooby tim, any chance you could have a butchers for me and see if you do have one, think i could get across to you without to much mither, failing that gonna have to try and ring round tomorrow, bloody nightmare as i'm on the road all day tomorrow too.
not happy yet again

 

Try Api first thing in the morning!

 

cheers mate, is that api in warwickshire?
might struggle to get one before xmas, half the bloody couriers round here not working on saturday morning

 

They should be, it's a normal working day, well Saturday rota.

Hope you get sorted. As stated, it's a common fault.

 

thanks to you all, see what happens tomorrow.
got major plans to use the car for the next 11 days, so got to get sorted tomorrow

 

Found 1 in the shed mate just thinking though not sure if the same as its a version 1 import where yours is a facelift if it fits you can have it. How bad is yours leaking? I take it its from the bottom corner, this ones finns look ok but the bottom corner is pretty badly corroded so you might be as well getting a new one you can chance it if you like but i know if it was my motor it would be getting new for the sake of £50 and peace of mind.

 

cheers Tim, yeah didnt fancy taking a chance so got a new one this morning.
£70, could find some a little cheaper on the net, but this one was in a local rad specialist, so bought it and fitted this evening problem solved
It had a small hairline crack in the plastic side panel on the drivers side!
sorted now though cheers.
had a little bit of a bugger trying to bleed the system, but all seems ok

thanks again to all who replied.

Just incase anyone else is after one i got it from Deeside radiators. 01244 288795.
Top bloke, and keeps them on the shelf.

 

Glad you're sorted.

Mine had a canny crack in it a few years back;

 

Near as damn it exactly the same as mine looked.
