Have you tried

• Graeme Cooper
• Land Vehicle Spares
• KLR Automotive

These are all reputable suppliers, and LVS might even have a good second hand one. Matt

thanks matt,

will try LVS and KLR the price above is from gream cooper.

I'm in Melb, so this story is only here to give you ideas. A mate of mine has a Natrad shop and a guy came in who wanted his Rangie rejuvenbated for a 'round Australia trip. For the price of a genuine radiator he got a custom made high performance alloy radiator through Natrad. If you must end up spending that much money, you may as well get more for it.

The price from Cooper sounds about what I paid for mine from KLR. I know a bloke in Melbourne got a custom job made up for about half that. I could get hsi email address when I get home or you could look on the P38A forum at http://rangerovers.net/forum and look for a post about it by MJS (Martin Saul from Mornington Peninsula).

I can't check it from here as anything with Forum in the address is blocked.

That's possible. One radiator I received was obviously very different from the original as far as core sizes - that radiator came from BMI

Oops! Of course. Then you will know MJS from that forum. I'm pretty sure it was he that sourced an aftermarket radiator.

You could get an aluminium radiator built for racing for less than $1000.00 and it'd do a better job than the standard one. I'd be googling radiators and seeing how much it would cost to build one up.
