mr2ben radiator - advice please

Post by VGB »

I need a new radiator so have had a look to see which one seems the best bet. It would seem that one that mr2ben sells with aluminium core seems a good choice.
Has anyone here got one, if so is it a direct for, i.e. everything whet it should be as I've read some of the Ebay ones have bleed pipes in hard to reach places and not where Toyota put them.
Other than the radiator is there anything else I'm likely to need, jubilee clips, mounts, etc?
Is there anything else I need to be aware of when fitting? Any advice or pointers appreciated. :thumleft:

I've got a mr2ben radiator.

It is ok.. the bleed valve isn't brilliant so you'll need to get some bigger hose.

I've had one in mine for a year seems to be ok. Its pretty much standard fit

I placed one of those from Ebay.co.uk in my car. No problem at all. I also swapped the cooling fan for two new ones. It works great. I recommend it highly. Engine stays much cooler. Fans are not noisy at all. Didn't have to make any adjustments.
