DaveM Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 I have managed to break the radiator on my 1994 Auto Twin Turbo Supra. I was fitting a new metal upper radiator hose to replace the old sagging rubber hose and have somehow managed to crack the plastic collar on the radiator that the hose connects to. The plastic collar seems to have crumbled, I can only assume that I have been completely hamfisted and overtightened the jubilee clip. I now need to find a replacement radiator. I don't want to get an aftermarket radiator, so does anyone know if you can still get the radiators from Toyota and how much they ask for them? Alternatively does anyone know of anywhere in the Reading\Berkshire area that is likely to supply a reconditioned unit for a supra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Walker Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 A stock rad from a dealer is £311 + VAT with a £50 (+ VAT) return charge. Aftermarket is around £400 + I can deliver a stock rad with no hassles of return of your old rad for £329 all in to your door. Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Walker Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Please bear in mind aftermarket rads need an autobox cooler kit - adds a bit to the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Please bear in mind aftermarket rads need an autobox cooler kit - adds a bit to the price £500 all in i was told. Also does the fluidline need anything else to fit to a 6 speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 no just the rad would be worth putting a new top hose on, or a metal one while you're at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveM Posted May 5, 2007 Author Share Posted May 5, 2007 I've read about the after market radiators needing electric fans fitting for the autobox oil cooling and to be honest you can see the mess I made of doing a simple job of changing a hose. I really just want to keep it as simple as possible and swap like for like. I was expecting around the £300 mark so Gaz I think I will be on the phone to you on Tuesday (assuming you are closed for business until then due to the bank holiday) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 its really not difficult, but you don't have to fit fans for the auto cooler, stock for stock is the easiest tho yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swandip Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Mr T in Reading can suppy for about £290 as I had mine done a few months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Koyo rads are £300 inc delivery if you look on Ebay, and are bigger than the fluidyne. Then you need a new rad cap and auto cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
