|
|
I would just like someone else's opinion regarding a radiator that I want to buy on eebuygum for my 95 Bighorn. My radiator has a hole in it and I need to replace it and I have found a new one on eebuygum for £55.00 including postage with a 2 year warranty, what do you think? I did phone them and they did say that it comes from China and it has a stainless steel core with plastic top and bottom tanks, they also said that they have sold 66 without any problems. Does anybody have a comment or maybe bought one? _________________ 1995 Isuzu Bighorn Fieldstar LS 3.1 Diesel Automatic |

That link is for a manual gearbox going by the picture. It doesn't seem to have the connections for the autobox oil cooler that is built into the bottom. That might be an issue. _________________ 1990 Isuzu Bighorn LWB Mk.I 2.8TD Manual Lotus Edition

I hadn't noticed that Geoff's was an Auto, So Rhanagar, you're right, it wouldn'd do. |

Probably why it is so cheap ... the oil cooler part would bump the price up. _________________ 1990 Isuzu Bighorn LWB Mk.I 2.8TD Manual Lotus Edition

I need a new radiator for my Trooper if anyone knows of a good source. Online sites claim to have some available until you come to order and then they don't have the specific model. Local garage has said it will have to come from Japan. |

Have you inquired with local specialists if it can be repaired? _________________ 1990 Isuzu Bighorn LWB Mk.I 2.8TD Manual Lotus Edition

Thanks, I will check it out. Re. repair, the local garage thinks that might be an option but not something they could do themselves. It's been repaired once already. |

Usually a small hole can be brazed. _________________ 1990 Isuzu Bighorn LWB Mk.I 2.8TD Manual Lotus Edition

Yes, I think it was beyond repair, springing leaks everywhere. Got a new one on the internet but yet to fit it. If a success, will let you know. |

Seems to be no go on the radiator I got sent. The invoice, from Hartlepool Radiator Company, details it as Part no. IS2004 rather than the one I ordered, which was IS805; and it doesn't seem to be the right dimensions. Does anybody know if this is a viable alternative? And has anyone had any dealings with this company? |
