Thread: Source for radiator

Hi folks,

Recently I scored some stone damage. RHS headlight and radiator. Headlight - no problem. A local wrecker has one I and because I know them I should be able to negotiate a reasonable price.

The radiator is another story though - aforementioned wrecker doesn't have one. I've been quoted, and get this.... $916 from a LR dealer (VSL in Morwell). I'm sure I can do better than that - at least I fervently hope I can... I've looked at Roverparts - $400 + freight which represents a considerable saving.

Does anyone have any other suggestions ? Please...

Thank you one and all. I've sourced a radiator from an unexpected source and it should be here in a few days - unrelated contacts can some times have strange effects...:-) Price is GOOD too...:-) The current radiator isn't leaking lots - about 500ml / week (200k's) so I can well and truly live with it at the current rate of coolant loss.
OF course being a Land Rover when I get the radiator replaced it'll start leaking something else from somewhere else.


I'm coming up to a year of ownership of this car so I'll post something about that when the anniversary rolls around. Quick summary is that it's cost a cart load of money but it's still one of the best cars I've owned...:-)
