Title: Radiators! Post by: mirafioriman on May 12, 2009, 08:13:01 PM On ebay expensive in my opinion, but they have 10 for a 2.0 litre and others for 1.3, 1.4 and 1.6 131s.

Post by: kes131 on May 12, 2009, 09:07:46 PM Hi Dave
I paid ?117.50 for mine to be totally rebuilt back 1998. It was made by a company called Essex radiators. I had it made with extra 3 rows to keep it cooler ::). I gave them my old one for a template and think they used only the top and bottom,? replaced the rest. Those since I have had the car in storage it is in need of rebuilding again !!? :'( I? also added a switch so I could manually turn on the fan when in traffic!! And I modified the cooling system and removed the thermostat , which helped it to run at lower temperature when needed. + helped where I had modified the engine to.? ::)? 8) Mark?

Title: Re: Radiators! Post by: Tas131 on May 14, 2009, 09:18:30 PM He quoted me 180gbp for freight to Hobart :o I assume that's for a private chartered jet! I'll have to get back to him and ask for a quote for sea freight.

Title: Re: Radiators! Post by: Tas131 on May 15, 2009, 05:04:52 AM guys, new alu-plastic radiator for lada is 45e new and it's exactly the same as for 131. Can you get these at that price? I'd still have the problem of freight to Australia! Title: Re: Radiators! Post by: djape1977 on May 15, 2009, 05:25:18 PM i can get them anytime, will have to ask about shipping though. at least they're light. where exactly do you live?

I've currently got the wider twin fan radiator in the car. I don't actually need another radiator, but if I can source a narrower unit it gives me 200mm beside the radiator to fit an intercooler for a supercharger. Title: Re: Radiators! Post by: simon131 on May 19, 2009, 06:29:53 AM I think Theo recently purchased a radiator for his Sport - from Yagmur I think. Be interesting to see what he paid and whether he thinks it's any good ;) which I'm sure it will be as Yagmur appears to have a good reputation 8). Probably fairly good value too....
Title: Re: Radiators! Post by: Yagmur on May 19, 2009, 06:42:42 PM have a look at my section please about radiators
