    I found the most effective noise reduction on mine was to ensure all the holes in the firwall and floor and seatbox are blocked, and to fit rubber seals to each side of the bonnet (copied that from a late S3 diesel!).

    Looks like the radiator is stuffed, holes / leaks on both sides of the top header tank onto the core and pin holes in the header tank itself. Tried soldering them up but I just seem to open up more, looks like it’s pitted all over the place. There is also a hole somewhere in the centre of the core.
    I have been on the interweb, paddocks don’t have stock, 4wd Industries have no stock, LR parts have some, but they are only £110 quid. Seems cheap to me, can’t seem to get a freight quote though unless I buy it first though. Has anyone used one of these?, are they any good please.

    I bought a floor stock 4-core radiator from Paddocks a few years back, for under 100 pounds. Big mistake! The thing leaked everywhere, had no signs of prior use, but who knows how it was treated in a showroom etc. I've sealed the leaks with the ground pepper trick and it seems to be working fine for now, but I always have my eye out for a new or good condition original. With that, I'd buy from a local retailer in case of any problems!

    Not sure you can easily buy a Series II radiator, typically the ones available are Series III.

    If you find one with a good top & bottom tank you can get it recored, had one done about 18months ago for $550. The core wasn't identical to the original, they could match it exactly but the cost was $750.
    The one fitted to my SII Dormobile has had many cracks soldered up and seems OK, you just need to find an 'old school' radiator repairer who knows what they are doing.

    I have a pattern Series III one fitted to my Series III with C240 Isuzu motor. Didn't match the original exactly but works well and has been in for some years now. I did keep the original with the idea of getting it re-cored at some point.

    The other option is an aluminium one from Ebay (Series III type again). Paint it matt black and it wouldn't stand out except to a rivet counter.
    I don't have any experience but I'm sure someone on the forum would have purchased one.
    They all seem to be $299, some with 'lifetime warranty' !

    That's ok Ian, I only drop by the forum now and again. Can I ask where you obtained your insulation ? Just Supercheap or somewhere like that ?

    Thanks

    Hi John

    I have it at work and sell it by the linear metre (1000mm x 1000mm) at Southport. We use it in air con sheet metal boxes for insulation.

    I have a new radiator on the way from Paddocks. I wanted to support small Aussie businesses, as I am
    One myself, but $758.00+ freight from Newcastle and $292.00 from the UK, there was no comparison.

    Bloody Hell! How can they justify that price from NSW? There must be Carriers passing through your location a 1000 times a day Shirley it wasn't Newcastle UK was it?


    I have not read the whole thread from start to finish but re the Grille query way back. (maybe it has been answered) I have the same & it did come off a 2A 109, 2.25L donk. Whether LR were clearing out a Parts Bin I have no idea, but it was on the vehicle when I scrapped it but of course kept it. Well galv'd as well. It's use today apart from its original designed use is to clip the Neg. Battery Charger clip on to because it is handy & a good Earth point.

    LR Ch/N 25327731D Pressed Metal# 10920219 This was the model that had the Land<-> Rover sign written on the RH front guard in blue..
