Radiator

[cooperman]

Can anyone tell me where I can get a new standard front-mounted radiator for a 1999 car? We have one which is V.O.R. at present and can't seem to find one anywhere.
Please mail me direct or post on here if you can help.

or you could try john at mini classics, he is a specalist breakers and just got a mpi that a customer of mine did a full gymnastics routine with! - dont know what the radiator is like, but worth a try

I know Somerford bought up a job lot of Rover spares - might be worth a try.

Thanks guys, we'll try those.
Is anyone ever going to make them as new items again?
If not, then maybe there is a need for a mod to fit something else.

hi peter, might know someone with one that has been recored sat in his loft contact me if you interested.

I think we just got one. John at mini Classics has sent a slightly damaged but repairable one and another contact claims to have an as-new reconditioned one he'll sell for loads of dosh.
Many thanks for all the help. It's just great how everyone on here is so helpful in so many ways.
