Thread: TD5 Radiator O.E.M or not ?

Put a full alloy in mine td5 2003 due to snapping reservoir bleed hose off lot of little fiddly mucking around things but it fitted not noticed any improvement having it over standard and not had any problems been in for ages but if it cracks splits out bush it can be repaired it was my thought anyway and it tows a cub every were we go never gets hot

Seems to be a lot of aftermarket ones available but not many original equipment , that's most likely due to the age of them these days.


Thanks and Cheers Ean

I have been here, and concluded that given such an expensive bit of kit (the engine) relies on this part...OEM it was.

I busted a hose outlet on mine playing around with when I was still in Gove Ean. As far as I can remember I ordered a replacement from Berrimah Radiators.

That unit is still in it. The vehicle took our camper trailer to the Kimberley in 2015 and also towed a 17' off road van to Brisbane and back last Christmas and it is still going strong.

PS My memory may not be correct and I may have got it from Karcraft - can't find any paperwork for it.

I will just get an OEM job and be done with it , if he still has the car in 12 more years we will worry about the next option.


Thanks and Cheers Ean

Gday Ean we replaced ours late last year and I got the all aluminium off eBay from WA and its pretty good, the best thing is if it develops a leak it can be repaired. The only thing I had to do was modify 1 mount on the intercooler so it would fit, you can get from the UK 1 that has a new intercooler with it for another 150 from memory and I should have got that.

Ean,

I fitted one from Island 4x4 in Feb 14 and have had no issues with it. I think it was a Nissen brand radiator.
