Am I right in thinking Nissan no longer sell these?

 

Are these my options -

find 2nd hand

buy new rad ?? (aftermarket of course, Koyo me thinks if I can afford it)

 

Cheers.

Ask MJP I have bought them from him in the past,although fitting a new end tank on an old core is not a good idea as the lugs that hold it in place break off,so fit a new core.

A Koyo is the way to go IMHO.

Cheers for that Iain. Just spoke to Mike, he can't get them anymore. New rad is £200. Noticed an old post where Andy was selling 2nd hand rad for £110, so looks like its a Koyo for me. My new flat is a drain on the cash flow at the moment though so I still might look about for a broken rad and just nick the end tank.

There is a rad going on ebay £30 ish quid. Ends tonight.

Ask Dave C he may have one.

Yeah, I will ask Dave.

 

Chris, don't suppose you have a link? I had a look but couldn't find it.

will have a check through bud .. should have taken it at the time give me 5 mins to find it.

Now £46.00 .. still not too bad though ....

Thanks bud. I think manual and auto's are different though? Mine is an auto :(

you can still use a manual one i got a recon one if your intrested.

I thought that may be the case. bugger, could have been a right result, not as nice as a Koyo though ;-)

So Auto and manual are both the same then? Just an easy replacement?

You sure? I've been ringing around this morning for a replacement and have been asked each time if its manual or auto, so there must be some difference?

manual has 4 pipes for the oil cooler and auto has 2 i used a manual one in my auto for a while .

I believe the auto rads have pipework to cool the autobox integrated in the rad!

 

James you can have a manual rad as you have a separate oil cooler for the autobox!

Yeah, I was thinking that Mark.

 

Errol, how much are you looking at for yours then?

James the rad fitted to an auto has the gearbox oil cooler in the end tanks a manual does not have this.As long as you have an aftermarket gearbox oil cooler then you can fit a manual rad or a Koyo.

Cheers, that widens the scope of getting one then....... Just checking credit card health though for that Koyo.

Well, I got the ebay rad for £72.

Good work :D

Well done mate ... good result ...

Thanks for the pointer Chris :)

Good one, lets just hope that when it turns on ya doorstep that it is off an Auto with the extra pipes on the End Tank...

James, I have an old rad, you can have it if you want. It has a leak, but I'm sure it could be repaired, either by soldering or crimping off one of the cores. Let me know.

My actual rad was re-cored last year. The top pipe of my end tank has snapped so its very hard to get a proper seal with the hose. This is what is causing my leak. Now I'm not a radiator expert but I'm guessing I could swap an end tank over? From one rad to the other? Not ideal maybe as Mac said but would do until father xmas brings me a Koyo or Howie!

If your r/h/s is ok then that would be fantastic Andy. I would owe you several large beers! :duffer:

The end tanks and everything are fine, dunno how difficult it is to swap them over though. PM me to arrange collection.
