Cooling System 5exi... HELP!!!
 
Me again,

I'm still havin probs guys, I'm STILL confused about the correct radiator needed for the 5exi.

I have been to my mates breakers yard this afternoon and checked out about a dozen Rover 200 / 400 / 25 and ZR radiators (1400 / 1600 / 1800cc) to find the right one and still havent come across ANY of them which has the radiator with the right measurements.....

Could someone who's actaully fitted there Radiator, when next working on the car, measure it up and reply for me please.... The measurements i was told from limpabit were 615mm x 400mm x 25mm and looks like if i find a radiator of that size it'd be perfect, however, as i've said.... WHERE DO I FIND ONE..... AAAAAAAARRGH!!!!!!!!!

Thanks in advance.

Andy

I'm sure any post 95 bubble 216 should have them. Do they look anything like the rad on my web site under build/Apil/May?

I'll have measure tonight.

Have you got a web address or contact details for 'em near Cornwall?

I take it that the price was new and not exchange?

Best quote I've had is £74 exchange.
