New Radiator

Anyone have any experience with non Mazda radiators. Should some be avoided or are they all much the same. Fitting looks pretty straightforward but are there any problems I might encounter.

Hi

Might be worth asking in Techie (or ask a Mod to move it) as more people will see it. :wink:

I bought a pattern part for about £60 or £80. Fitted it myself and all ok.

If possible try and get one with all metal construction.

I've checked and my rad was £87 with a 2 year warranty from Advanced Radiators. Yes it is cheap, but it is very similar in construction to the original, which cost 3 times as much.

I have photos of me fitting it if you are interested.
