    Radiator

    Took my radiator for a reco and have been informed it is not serviceable. They quoted $1000 for a 5 core and $600 for a 4 core. Is this reasonable?

    Or does a series 3, 3 core radiator fit/suitable for my 2a which is only $400 from Landrover plus?

    Series 3 radiator will work. You may need to change hoses though.

    That sounds a bit steep. Dad just had to replace the whole radiator in our 80series cruiser and they are $580 for a quality australian made replacement.

    It's only a series rover with an old school copper radiator after all... I'd say go with the SIII one

    G'day All, Just make sure you don't buy a late model S3 diesel radiator, as the bottom hose outlet is the same size as the the water pump outlet, very difficult these days to get a std hose to fit cheers Dennis
