Radiator

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a good replacement radiator, which isn't going to break the bank? Have been looking at the ARC ones but well out of my price range.

Are there any benefits in buying an aftermarket one vs a standard nissan one?

Thanks.

I found an ally rad to be a double edged sword they look great but increase the temps under the bonnet

DB-Power supplied both mine and Honeys ally radiators for around £130 each.

You can re-core your standard radiator for about £100 with a double thickness Nissan item off another UK Nissan, but the name of it escapes me now.
