Chim Radiator

[Tyre_Tread]

I had a trip over to see Paul at PPC in Melton this morning - Top bloke!

Anyway, during inspection we noticed that the radiator core is starting to weep and needs replacing or recoring so I am looking for recommendations as the last place I got to do the P5 Radiator I was less than impressed with

TIA

They did an excellent job refurbishing my Griff rad at the end of last year. You need to pull the rad and refit it yourself, which is a right pain on a Griff.
They recognised the rad was from a TVR as soon as they saw it, which I took as a good sign.

Thanks for that, I've dropped then an email for a quote.

May I ask roughly the cost?

Around the £160 mark including VAT for the rad.

I also purchased the antifreeze from them as they were very competitive on the pricing.

I took the opportunity to replace all the hoses with silicone ones which doubled the price of the job, the old ones were OK, but changed them anyway.

Northampton auto rads are worth a shout.

Docking at Silverstone will make you a beautiful alloy rad for a price & they work very well.

I second SB - Nigel's recommend....
