My 944 radiator needs replacing/re-coring. There are a couple of places that sell them, but all out of stock without knowing when they will get more.

So that just leaves having the existing one re-cored.

Any recommendations that you have actually used?

Yes came across them, and there is a place in Leeds.

Would be nice to have a recommendation of quality.

Hi not local, but a potential source of Alloy Rads (if you were considering an upgrade whilst replacing)

http://alicool.co.uk/

I'm going to use them to supply me a Alloy one for my E-type, rather than waste money on another standard one from a classic parts provider, i'm also pretty sure this will be better performing than the factory jaguar ones.

understand if you want 'originality' then this might not be for you, but was worth mentioning.

The company has a eBay page and are selling a Porsche 928 one for £500 so i'm sure a 944 one will be no problem.

That's where I went. Initially had a good price but they couldn't get a core in the end, not made any more. They did track down a new one though at a decent price so happy.

Hope I never need another.
