Right, I'm about to have my 4th radiator in a 6 year period of very sensible driving and obviously getting a little fed up.

I've done a little research and noticed there seems to be two main types. A fat one and a thin one. There's obviously also oem and specialist ones but I'm already starting to digress.

After speaking to my mechanic he has stated that the thin one (usually bought on eBay) are always breaking down and leaking. He states that I need a fat one which is the same width as the top cover throughout

Can any of you kind people and traders confirm, deny, expand on my above?

Also, can anyone recommend a reasonably priced option for me? Links are always very helpful

Thanks in advance.

 

I got one from Romford Radiators and the grommet pins things on the bottom broke the day it arrived! Poor quality from them

Have just purchased this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUBARU-IMP...E:L:OU:GB:3160

The quality is excellent and far better than the one from Romford Radiators. You get a 2 year warranty too

Thanks gents.

CPF, going to try and do a little more research and i'll get back to you as soon as.

Currently looking at an RCM one going for £50. Checked their website and the only thing they tell me about it is its aftermarket

 

anyone recommend one for an MY05 widetrack? From reading around a bunch of people are adamant you can find them for less than £100, but this seems worryingly cheap? Found this for example http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUBARU-IMP...-/181484337862
