I just had mine re cored at auto cool in the industrial center of James street. I think it's about £130 for a standard core.

Have you taken the rad out to look for the leak?

ouch ! no i havnt taken it out yet , i'd wondered about soldering it up ,(got oxy accetaline) but i was told its too hot a flame ? at £130 its maybe going to be cheaper to fit the fronty one ,but then again , thats been in the back garden a year !! oh dear decisions decisions.....

How far back did you mount the engine? is it viscous or electric fan?
I have a Frontera 2.5TDS/3.2V6 rad on mine with a paccet electric fan, damn thing runs that cold i struggle to get the cab warm Shocked

A friend mounted his engine a little too close to the rad and every time he hit a big rut his viscous would destroy the rad Laughing

There is a little difference in the thickness of the rads i believe!

Cheers

rads in the right place , i made a couple of bushes on my lathe to fit the sides of the rad to use the fronty fittings and the trooper hoses, i think tho its the flex thats sprung it , i've been too tight to splash out on a fronty bottom hose , but im starting to think that the solution , its done 8500 miles mind since i fitted the engine so i cant moan too much !
