I'm in need of a new standard GTT radiator, I was told today that the price may have gone up, I've had a hunt around and it seems 130.00 is the going rate these days :(

Anyone happen to have any idea where I might find a new valeo cheaper ? It must be a GTT radiator btw, I know I can find other or larger radiators cheaper.

valeo is a french company mate, since the euro- pound rate has changed, you will not get a cheap one direct from a valeo distributor anymore :( - what about the aluminium ones from our chinese ebay friends.... :)

I was going to suggest something like that, I guess you would need an aftermarket oil cooler as well though.
Anyone know if those rads are any good?

sparkie, that'll be it I guess. is ordonez also french ? they rocketed too.

my problem with changing rad is that my rad pipes and clearance is down to mm's, I had to make a right fangled bottom hose just to get the GTT rad in, I don't want all that headache again but I'll take a look at the ebay ones though, I hadn't thought of that :)

renault5gtboi, if it was a new one bought recently-ish I'd be interested for sure, if its an original then its OK, I have a couple of those already, I could do with a core that works its best, no build up of crud, etc :)

seperate oil coolers are cheap enough to buy if you look around on the bay mocal and sebtrab seem to be the easiest to get hold of
