Uprated replacement radiators?
 
Noticed a hairline crack in my radiator so car is off the road until this is replaced which I need to do ASAP.
Is there anywhere that does uprated ones you would recommend or am I just as well replacing it with a standard one? (The car is running an HDI FMIC if this makes any difference to what I should put in)

Alloy 42mm core one.

Where is best to get one, are they a direct replacement no trimming cutting required?

Standard one: mine is handling 400bhp easily.

Cheers I'm running around 400 at the moment just wasn't sure if it was worth uprating at that power.

i had a 52mm aluminium one on mine till it sprung a leak.i was going to buy another ally one the same as i thought they were better.did a bit of asking around and was told the standered one would do fine.so i bought a standered one and there has been no difference to water temps,so i would say just buy a standered one.thats at 650bhp with plenty of hard driving.:D

Have a word with Mark at Import Car Parts. That is where my radiators come from.
