Hi guys

just recently been working on my mates disco 1 300 tdi and whilst i was working on it i had a look round it and noticed that some of the fins on the rad where missing and just wanted to know are the britpart radiators any good as he is going to cornwall in may to our caravan and wants to get it replaced before then.

the same happened with mine this was in the late summer and seemed ok , i replaced it with one from mailorder4x4.co.uk not to bad price
 
i bought a new rad off ebay a few years back when i did my 200 tdi into my s11a conversion but can't remember the make but wasn't britpart, i only got one off ebay as they where cheeper than the ones paddocks where selling but they are dearer now than the paddocks ones.

how do you know it wasnt supplied by britpart there not like beans with lots of different factories building them they are very few
 
well i have seen the ones paddocks sell and they come in a britpart box but this one came in a brown box with some name on in a red emblem so wasn't britpart.

I got a Britpart rad for my 200tdi and found that the bottom oil pipe fitting at the rad end was leaking. I took off the pipe and tightened it up (not too tight) only to find that the fitting in the rad twisted and broke. Fortunately it was Island 4x4 and they replaced it. I used PTFE tape on new rad prior to fitting and have had no problems so far and thats 8 month.
