Title: Best replacement radiator? NOT TOO EXPENSIVE
Post by: LeeOxley on 03 May 2015, 21:54

Happy days, there's a hole in my radiator! Im gonna Radweld it for now, (Hopefully), but I need a new rad at some point. Im looking to spend no money than £60.
First thing first: Are non air con car radiators the same as air con ones.
I Found an EIS radiator on eurocarparts for £34? Any good?
Car is a 1999 1.6L Petrol SE with air conditioning.
Cheeeeeers

I'm pretty sure the aircon ones are different.

I'm still looking for an uprated aluminium radiator for my ARZ with aircon and cant find one anywhere!

You do realise aluminium doesn't cool water as well as copper don't you?

I'm looking for more cooling, all the ones I have seen are aluminium.
