    And which one did you go for the el cheapo flea bay special ?

    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). 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?
