Default New radiator wanted

Hello

I'm after a new radiator for my 1997 Forester S/tb. I'm fairly sure it is the same as the Impreza one of the same age.

Anybody recommend somewhere I can buy one new?

Thanks

Mark

Has your car got a manual or auto gear box?

Hello

Mine is a manual so I don't need the autogearbox oil cooler pipes. I ended up ordering this one http://www.radiatorshop.net/products...6v-awd-turbo-s £103 including vat and delivery

For an auto this would be the right one http://www.radiatorshop.net/products...-turbo-s-12257

Just had it delivered and it is the one for the auto!!! I don't think it matters if there is nothing going into the pipe on the radiator....... I hope.

Mark,

As stated on the web pages that rad is for a S Turbo which comes with the manual gearbox oil pump as standard, hence the cooler section in the rad.

As the S/Tb doesn't have the pump just leave the connections at bottom open.

It doesn't look to bad quality wise, but I haven't taken it out of the wrapper yet. The part actually came from http://www.tjautomotive.com/ who seem to be the importer.

I'll install it at the weekend and let you know if it fits
