As above, are all replacement pattern rads equal, or are some better than others ? Or any decent alloy ones at bargain prices? It`s for a 2005 wagon. Thanks

Don't bother with alloy ones, they army as good as the standard item. RCM ran stock one on gobstopper and zen ran one on thier time attack car so they are well up to the job.
Speak to alyn at AS Performance I know he supplies very good quality Oem ones.

Strongly Agree as the aluminium ones produce a lot more heat in the bay aswell genuine ones are best I've had both they both perform same apart from engine bay heat unless your running heavy bhp

Thanks. Will a pattern one suffice, or genuine oem ? Alyn always gives good advice.

A good pattern one is equally as good as the oem item, I heard that first hand from one of the UKs to tuners. As I sat speak to Alyn he will keep you right matey

As above. I bought one and it leaked from the start ,although it could have been caused by the 1.3 bar pressure my cooling system is running, binned it and bought a all alloy one from Japspeed. Very happy with it. Steve.
