Hey Natas. I dunno whos best, but as a rockauto guy for my old Mitsubishi, I would look there. They have a radiator for my 95 300tdi for 180.

They now stock some parts for European Defenders.

Another thought, being on this side of the planet. Safari HP in Orlando. Nice group, Abe is awesome, will help you out. If you want the ease of buying from the USA.

I recently fitted a Paddock Rad on mine. Hasn't been on long so can't really comment. It went in easy and seems fine. £79. The only thing I would say is it doesn't seem as solid as the one I took out which was the original. But then its not a moving part an for the price it seems a good deal. I also changed the heater matrix at the same time with a Paddock special £17.50. I'm hoping it might improve the heating system.

I also fitted one from paddocks. Has plastic tanks on each end. I was a bit concerned as to its strength but has been absolutely fine for a few years now.

Also, genuine ones are crazy expensive

Could have your old one re-cored

Got a genuine from Famous Four on the way.
Really expensive!!!
Hopefully will be the last I will have to buy for Pumkin.
