    New Radiator…. Britpart?

    The slow leak isn't any more….

    Took out the Rad and intercooler and found them filthy - put the hose across them and the silt coming out was amazing. I thought I'd cleaned the car well after our extensive wading in the Simpson over easter, but clearly not.

    Looks like the silt has chafed away down the bottom where it's leaking.

    Anyway, I need a new rad tomorrow in Melbourne…

    Can get Britpart @ $300… What are these like these days? Still a risk?

    AMV have genuine at $450.

    Just missed the mob in Ballarat, will call in the morning.

    Any other ideas?

    Check the core "row count", pommy radiators often have less rows than radiators supplied to Australian and Middle Eastern markets.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.
