Bummer that sucks! Always praises spoken about Alisport. I’ve been half looking into getting a decen intercooler. But am thinking something Australian made, to definitely suit the conditions. PWR it’s looking like so far...
what cooler did you end up going for as a replacement?

Well when I recently checked over my Puma I found a coolant leak and yes - the PWR radiator is leaking again.... Spoke to MR Automotive and they informed me that they have had multiple PWR radiator failures, so it looks like a new factory one will be going back in....Quote:

I’m holding my breath as to how long it’s going to hold out for- another better one may be on the cards.

Which one did you go with this time Neil?Quote:

The spilt in the allisport was pretty decent... about 4" long down beside a welded seam.
The silicone hoses Bruce provided with the intercooler are from Samco.
Signed up to get one of these, with a reversing camera option, fitted to my barge. Installation on coming Tuesday so pics to wait til then.

The angle on the units isn’t the best. But tollerable!
