johnd-mkiv Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 The top part of my rad near the neck had a long crack in it, some c@*t has bodged it with body filler. I have done a temp repair on it, but really need a new one! whats my best bet? uprated rad or an oem rad? who and where can I get one and what sort of price will I be looking at for one? cheers john d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Perhaps you could contact Steve Manley, as mentioned in other threads of CJ. (Toyota dealer doing good prices for members here) It would be interesting to know what sort of price he can do for the rad --- might go for one myself in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Are you losing coolant then? Koyo make good rads if you can find one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 220ish would be good enough for me. Stock rad, quality! (bar the fecken plastic end-tanks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 not bad concidering i was quoted £350 inc vat from Mr T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 not bad concidering i was quoted £350 inc vat from Mr T. Yes I'm fairly sure the £222 price is too good to be true, if it is the right price that is a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Yep, I found that a Koyo aluminium rad (about 3 times thicker than the OEM one and with proper welded on metal end tanks) with 2x SPAL fans was only slightly more expensive than a new OEM rad from Toyota! Much better off uprating the rad if you already run more power or plan to run more. Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnd-mkiv Posted December 4, 2005 Author Share Posted December 4, 2005 should have a secondhand one sorted for now, thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLicense Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 There's two ways you can buy a radiator from toyota. (Certainly was for my GT-Four) A brand new one, or a re-conditioned one. The price difference was shocking. Needless to say the recon one should be pretty much every bit as good as a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I can do OE type rads at a great price for cash. e-mail me for prices if interested. Correct core thickness (NOT an N/A rad) with or without auto cooler (which works great as a PAS cooler on a manual car if you buy the auto rad....) repairing an old rad is a mugs game, IMO. I may have a very low age / mileage auto UK rad coming in soon, it's having an aftermarket one fitted, against my advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 how much for the UK rad and does it differ in any way to a jap spec rad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
