    Replace or Repair D2A TD5 Radiator?

    Im overhauling a friends D2A he has just purchased. TD5, auto. Good nick in general. However,the plastic bleed hose fitting on the radiator is held in place with some kind of epoxy. Obviously at some stage it has snapped off.

    Is it economical to get the end tank replaced, or is it better to buy a new radiator.

    If new radiator, can anyone recommend a low cost option for purchasing a new one?

    Personally I would replace it.

    Gary CLR in NSW has them for around 360$

    I got one from Land Rover in a bit of an emergency and it was around 770$ a couple of years ago
