Hi all, having been poking under the bonnet of the p38 I noticed that along the top seam of the radiator (where the tabs are folded over) are little spots of dried red coolant. Could this be time for a new radiator?
Jumping onto ebay, there seems to be plenty for less than $200. Seems a little too cheap for such a critical component. Has anyone rolled the dice on one of these? Can anyone vouch for another budget option?
Cheers

I have been sourcing parts from 4wd industries -they have a range of selections for P38 - Only complaint is they seem to be slow with the dispatch of "in stock items". they are located in NSW
And they are expensive .

Mario at Roverlord can get G&M radiators made in Glascow for D2 so I would think he could get them for P38.
I have one in my D2 and they seem good quality but are more expensive than Chinese cheapies.
You can email at sales@Roverlord.com.au

I just paid $795 for a genuine radiator in Victoria. Plus install.
I'm told there was less than $100 difference between the genuine and an aftermarket one.

Nought an ebay cheapie for my Ford ( old one split between the coolant and the trans cooler, which is fun ), and it seems fine. Thing is though, the Ford never strays beyond the range of my RACV Total Care membership. No way would I trust my Disco to one when I want to go to the VHC, let alone a desert. So, I guess my point is, how do you use the car? Oh, and a Ford Barra is in no way fragile. P38A V8, not so much.

When I changed over the engine in my P38 I replaced the radiator as well (2016)

I used that part and it has not failed on me. We do not get simpson desert like temperatures over here though, 35c is the most my beastie has to contend with but all in all, it just works
Cheers,
