ebay radiator

[benj88]

i will be looking into running a rad with a separate oil cooler. wondering if this would be any good? iv got a long list of things im buying so dont really want to spend a fortune on bling rads that are over priced.


opinions appreciated :agree:

I've fitted 1 or 2 and they don't seem too bad to be honest.

I see there are a few options out there from different suppliers on ebay now so can't say for all of them though.

iv had a copper core in the past and it really deteriorated and was even leaking from the coils, id go oe but with the gt tuning double cap its awkward for the oil cooler pipes

Does that one not have the oil cooler built in though?

I bought this one was very pleased with it

It looks like it has got the holes were the oil cooler pipes go. How much does that work out at in English money?

[tiff_lee]

Yea they do some with oil cooler some without, it was just you specified you wanted a separate cooler while the rad you linked to had one.

My bad with the link in their shop it's £125 posted but when you click it changes to ebay.com

Yeh cheers mate, i suppose you could still run a separate cooler with it even though it's got one
