Anyone used this radiator before? Will it fit my 1990 Cabriolet??

Hi All,

As the title suggests - anyone used one before or know if this will fit my car?? Top hose lug on mine has snapped (2nd one) looking to upgrade to metal one so this doesn't happen again…

Just measure the size of your radiator but it should fit, I do belive they use the same radiator.
same one here on ebay, BUT on the link you posted and the one below I can't see the pipe coming out of the top of the radiator to feed the expantion tank (the one that broke on yours?)
You might need to check with them that it is there?

You can get the standard one for £30 + £9.50 delivery, as long as you are careful around the little plastic pipe you will be fine, the one fitted to your car is properly the original radiator.

If you are really after an aluiminium there is lots on ebay.

 

Thank you for your help Mark and apologies for such a long delayed response.

I'm keen on a aluminium one as;

A) It boasts better cooling power?
B) I won't clumsily brake the top hose section (again!)

what's your thoughts?
