It was actually a second hand one off a wrecked D2 without any identifying marks, that looked to be good quality and I had pressure tested then took a chance that it might provide some much needed improvement. Hence not able to provide any links etc sorry (would have for a new or identifiable purchase).[bigwhistle] Cheers

Does the alloy one fit without any modifications or hassle? Also do you need to block any holes off?

Also how long does it last the radiator?

I just got mine replaced with cheap Ebay one around $200. Haven’t run the car long enough to notice any side effect yet.

Did you have an issues with installing the alloy with the oil cooler mounting and the fan shroud?
