Hi

I am in need of a bit of advice - I have been trying to source an Alloy Radiator for my 1996 MG RV8 but so far no luck.
Just wondering if any one out there has had any luck in sourcing one in the UK or know of a supplier you can recommend.

Regards

Mike

Mike, before placing an order you should ask for the technical data from each company. This should include the number of rows, type of construction, estimated cooling efficiency gain etc., as not all alloy radiators give the performance increase they claim. I put links to Radtec and Serck as both are reputable. Be sure not to buy one of the cheapo' units of fleabay as they are of unknown quality and it makes sense to have a UK made unit from a UK supplier. Good luck.

I bought a £199 chinese Alloy radiator off ebay and the quality is very poor. it lasted 18 months before it leaked. I will be buying a Radtec one very soon.
