Thread: Radiator woes

Why not just get it recored?

Hi Nigel
Get a price to re-core.
You can get thicker and also denser cores for increased cooling capacity.
A pain for you,but our local man is usually very good on his pricing.GT Radiators Narrogin,Graham Turner,ph98814447

I got a price to recore my V Disco radiator and it was cheaper to buy a new one, something to do with the way LR radiators are made makes them expensive to rebuild.

I think I paid about $500 for a new one.

Any ideas what sort of price? I have Rovacraft quoting me for a new one (Plus some other stuff) in the morning, so would be good to know the re-core cost. When I had a local garage quote, a re-core was dearer than a new one, and that wasn't for an uprated core either, which I'd prefer!

For the TD5 Recore $666(Interesting number there) From Nat Rad.
New either the $850 one or the $1100 one (These prices are Land Rover).

Jeez.....so if Rovacraft come in somewhere between the $400 and $500 I'm expecting maybe that isn't as bad as I thought?

And to think this is £100 back in the UK from Paddocks! Wonder how much shipping would be...

Hi Jeff
No Idea for a Landy one,give Graham a call and tell him what your after.
He has done a holden,Mitsi and ford radiator for me,plus we sent him all the farm stuff when I was a farm worker,does our shire repairs too,a helpfull chap.
If you and Nigel(DirtyDawg)want the same job doing 2 at once may make it worth his efforts.Ask him about doing 2 at once.
I can give you the number of the Perth/Narrogin/Perth daily courier,if you want Graham to do the work.Another top guy to know!!!!

If you want somewhere local Dirty Dawg try Natrad in Kelmscott just had my rad recored cost $475 not including fitting though they said they had the full landrover listing in the books. Mine was a 86 Rangie for that price. Had it ready in one day to.

All the best Mark
