I know this post is probably in the wrong section,so i apologise for that-but im in desperate need of a new/recon radiator for my fc-if any ones got one from a car there scrapping or selling for parts could they let me know-many thanks col!!! or is it better just to buy a brand new one??any help would be appreciated cheers
is better to just buy a brand new one i think as old one tends to leak a lot.......there are few radiators alway on ebay if u check it out...hope it helps
has it split junder under the raised square on the top ?
yep its jus split near the top!mazda dealer reckons 500 quid ish for a new one!!doh!!
:xconfused
yeh i know where there is one! im off to grab parts on thursday, i will let you know if its still on the car dude. **** you live MILES away!
yeah i live in sunny old surrey!! lol yeah cheers for that if you could have a look i would appreciate that,,,,im just balancing up the odds of gettin a new one,a second hand one,or a recon ..most people are telling me to get a new one!!! :wiggle
i went haves on a TII just for a rad - it worked out cheaper !! LOL
but i know what you mean , the prob is , rad splits , car runs hot , engine goes pop
you do the maths
any chance of a pic and sizes i,ve got a rad in the lockup but not sure if it came out of a fb or fc. That many bits squat away now i\'ve lost track what\'s come of what.

why dont you get one of those fancy aluminuim radiators. you may as well replace every part that gets worn out with a performance one.

YES! I have a good TII rad going spare, I\'ve just upgraded mine to a Fluidyne. The one I have was a good condition recon unit I bought last year. email me as I\'m in Reading and quite near you markparmstrong@hotmail.com. If you want it, I\'ll have to collect it from Tim @ RX Motors as it\'s with the car at the moment!
sadgoth --emailed you mate
turbo2nuttah--havent really got loads of cash at the mo but i do see wat ure saying,i wud love to but the misses would go nutz!!!
kev-yorks--havent gota clue on sizes mate its jus the bog standard rad for an fc3c doh!
perhaps i could use sum rad well until i get it fixed-any opinnions??
sorry for the slack answers i was replying just as i was on my way out
cheers tho guys
excuses for the spellings
wouldnt bother mate, if it ends up splittling big time you wont notice, well untill its too late anyway.
I tried Radweld when mine went (why I got the one that\'s up for sale!) doesn\'t seal the split at all, I used that weird metal/resin stuff too (like a metallic epoxy resin) held for about an hour! In the end I figure I spent about £15 on repair efforts which did bu99er all. :eek :Grrr
