So after two years of fettling I finally mot'd my zed yesterday, passed with flying colours. After about 15 minutes of sustaining a cheek acheing toothy grin the effing rad popped on the way home.. Serious kick in the balls and the grin.

Been searching around and can't find an N.A. radiator anywhere except concept z in the US. Anyone know where best to buy?

Also wondering why it might have popped? It popped at the plastic at the top. Rad cap is a bit crappy..

I think I have a spare somewhere if you are interested in used?

Is it an OEM one with the plastic top? Id be a bit worried about it failing again I think as I've heard the plastic goes brittle on the originals. What would you want for it posted?

Yeah plastic top. I'll check the condition before I tell you price.

 

The plastic is generally alright, the TT and NA had plastic end tanks and they don't usually break.

An alternative is to get adapter mounting brackets to use a TT / aftermarket radiators. I also have an old NA radiator, would need checking over, but should be fine.

Sorry I didn't get back to you. I remembered it's stored somewhere not close to me ATM so won't be able to get it till summer.

Hi

 

Late reply I know. Would have replied earlier but just got car back from bodyshop.

I had same problem recently when I had cam belt changed my NA radiator fell apart due to rust. Mechanic sourced one. On the radiator there is a sticker, says SWRadiators.co.uk

 

Hope this helps
