Hi,
I need a new rad after finding out the donor one I got was holed. I saw what I need at the Donington show on Martini's stand. Do they only operate at shows or do they run as a regular business that I can contact?

Cheers,
Rich

Is your rad brass or aluminium?

If it's brass you can probably just get the core replaced.

The rad is out of a '95 2l DOHC Scorpio, manual (without integrated oil cooler).

It looks like it has already been reconditioned once. Halfords wanted about £150 for one!

Martini were only charging about £20 for a new one so I thought I'd give them a shot first...

Anyone have their details then?

I know Robin Hood list a couple of radiators in their locost parts. They are around £35-£60 (from memory) and I seem to remember one is a Cortina copy and the other a Sierra.

Unfortunately the Sierra rad is very similar but the mounting points are different and I have already welded up a frame for the Scorpio mounts...

Looks like I've managed to repair this one anyway, and found readyrads in Birmingham that do them for £85 +VAT
