K Series Radiator

[m3inter]

Hi all,

The radiator on my Caterham K Series is leaking a little. Is there an alternative to buying genuine parts? The parts seem excessively expensive for what they are.

The Caterham part can be found here...

What are my options please?

Try Radtec at Cannock. They fixed a leaking radiator on my Porsche 944T for about £70. If its not possible to repair they may be able to manufacture a replacement - worth a call.

Thanks I've contacted them. They're saying because if where it is leaking it won't be possible to repair.

I'm therfore probably looking for a replacement. Is a genuine Caterham radiator the only option? I can get a small discount from an independent dealer but if want to make sure there isn't an alternative?

I have heard of Polo rads being adapted.

I heard this too. Wasn't sure if it was a myth or not?

If it were to be true, does anyone know the part number? Or what model polo it's from?

Jim, call Radtec back, they make a number of different radiators for the Caterham depending upon how powerful your engine is.
