    Hi Mudlust,
    I've just noticed your location.

    Tom at Wangaratta Radiators recored my 300Tdi radiator, and removed the end tanks and rodded another.

    I don't know what cores he can get but he's very approachable.

    I've got to talk to him about my Subaru radiator, I'll ask.

    Tony

    I found the receipt for the work performed on mine. It states it's a "made to order core from ADRAD, no part number". I too had difficulty finding someone to do the work. My go to place had shut down. A rover colleagues recommended shop had ceased trading. Luckily one old school guy still going. Sign of the times!

    Any Adelaide Radiator recommendations?

    My 1952 S1 80" radiator has a weep - about 2/3rds down
    not too serious but needs attention.
    looking at getting it repaired ideally in Adelaide
    but could get it to Melbourne after the Silly Season

    any recommendations or repairers appreciated

    Thanks

    Nobby!

    Radiator Dramas

    My '53 Original radiator (going by manufacturer's plate sweated onto top tank) doesn't leak but I thought it needed rodding. However testing the flow seemed satisfactory. Replaced the bellows-type thermostat with a 300 TDi item (Tridon 85 C opening) and never looked back.
    Cheers Rob

    At the advice of my Local repairer a 'modern' core was added to my 53 Radiator.
    'Easier to repair, if you ever need to'
    Old upper and lower tanks were removed and acid dipped to clean and new core soldered in.
    Cost me $700. Cost of solder has gone through the roof.
