Just make sure it is correct this guy seems to have been 'mistaken' with some of his listings.

Radiator looks right, but might be the wrong dimensions (I'm not saying it is, just that you can't check - when I had mine recored, the man recognised it as a Sherpa van but bigger)

Question - are all the S Series throttle cables the same? (ie 2.8, 2.9 and B8?)

Hi 99% sure it for a 2.8, which differs from the 2.9 Previous listing gave a part number which I checked see here

Pic from Roy C shows a 2.9 cable

Aye RoyC's looks more like mine I think (from memory). I didn't think that first one looked the same!

S radiator is based on the Sherpa item.

No, all three engines have their own throttle cables.
The 2.9 version is the Ford cable for Sierra & Granada 2.9.

would that rad fit and work correctly in an S3 ?
they are sherpa based with an extra core allegidly - had a quote to re-core my original rad for £225 but a "new" one would be a better option I think

S1/2/3/4 radiators are all the same as far as I know - the fan mounts in a different place but the radiator itself is the same. What I was trying to say earlier is that the one for sale looks right, but it's hard to tell, even my radiator recore man recognised it as a sherpa based, (but bigger).

Yes it's Sherpa with an extra core. Your recoring price sounds a bit steep - usually they come in at £130 to £150, mine was £135.

Thanks for reply
I thought it was a bit steep as well - there arent many places locally that do rad rebuilds anymore

The seller was listing a seperate rad for an S3 a few days ago, might be worth a quick email
