Come off it mate, your vehicle is 20 odd years old ...... the chances of finding a good second hand radiator is just about nil. just do what the rest of us do and buy a new one off ebay, or get yours re-cored.

I've already found a

I've already found a replacement. Got a recent re-con one over ebay which cost me £20 and £7.50 to send a courier to collect it. So much for my chances of finding one are nil! Cheers for the real helpful reply though mate.

Re-core.

Take your old one and get it re-cored. They remove the top and bottom plates and solder onto it new fins. Finished is as good as a new radiator. Try the phone book for 'motor-rads'. Buying someone's rubbish will be throwing money away!

like i say i found a new one

like i say i found a new one on ebay for £20 within days. they said it had been recently re-cored and it looks like they were telling the truth as it turned up in great condition. its been on a couple of weeks now and had no issues with it. its basically as good as new. how much does it cost for a re-core and i could still do my old one?

Rad for Sporty

Likewise got a really good rad from eBay, £35 all in. Gave it a lick of black paint and looks new.
