Euro car parts will be able to get a Valeo or Hella by Friday I imagine (if they don't already have one in stock).

I got mine next day from Tameside Radiators on eBay. Hella one as well and was only £139 delivered. If your car has air con you'll need to make brackets up for the condensor though

Cheers guys :) I rang up adrad and it came to 119 quid delivered but no guarantee it would be here tomorrow!

 

I have my local rad place a call and he's ordering one in for tomorrow morning for £124 so ill just get that one!

 

GSF and ECP both want upwards of £170 !! Iirc GSF's one was £260!!

 

Anyway thanks alot guys. hopefully it's all back together by tomorrow night.

 

If I top up the water as much as possible would it be ok to drive home quickly? It's only about 4-5 mins from my house!

It's not advisable, they run hot enough with coolant.

Only problem with pattern rads is they don't come with the elbow - these are available from Classic Parts but if you're lucky someone like Heritage may have one in the UK they can send you...

All sorted now :D

Picked up the new one this morning and spent most of the day fitting it, was thinking of doing the chains while it was all off but soon realised that would probly take me more like a week than a day lol

 

Cheers for the replies guys

Much appreciated
