ECP - Radiator

[RustyMojo]

Hi all,
Whilst bored this morning I stumbled across this on ECP. It’s coming up as the correct radiator for my 182FF. However I wanted to reach out and ask if anyone had ordered one and it was in fact correct? With the current ECP discount code it’s coming in at £15.92 which is mentally cheap!

I do need a new radiator but won’t likely get to fit for a couple of months now, so didn’t want to order and find later on it’s the wrong bloody one!

anyone know?

I don’t know whether it’s right or wrong but if it was right for £16 that’s a bargain!!

 

[RustyMojo]

Im tempted for the money just to order one!

 

[colesy]

Think I might do too, I need new one as the seam is starting to split on mine. If it’s wrong I’m sure it can be returned

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

I need one!

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Code doesn't work for me though

 

[colesy]

Try it lower case?

 

[RustyMojo]

Ordered one! £5.95 delivery but even so! Sub £30 including a new pollen filter. Seems like either a massive bargain or the wrong part

 

[colesy]

I didn’t get around to ordering last night, but it’s gone back up to £76 full price! Massive bargain as I’m sure it’ll fit

Oh no!...well positive news for me. But sorry you didn’t order one.

ECP have clearly got some issues with their system, odd items like this keep popping up stupidly cheap.

I got a clutch kit for my MX5 for £20 before lockdown, they had shocks for a tenner at the same time.
No great surprise when you consider how utterly woeful their system is.

Dont expect to recieve it for 2 months. I'm still waiting on balljoints I ordered at the beginning of April

Received my air con condenser really quickly. To be honest I’m in no rush at all! Car is up on stands with no axle on

Seem fine through Ebay but not on standard delivery on the website

There’s a clutch on there for £30 (after discount) is that right??

Even a s**t clutch kit is normally 100+

@RustyMojo, assuming the dimensions are for the rad core then it matches up to my old one

 

[RustyMojo]

Cheers mate. Money been taken, order confirmation received...let’s see if it (and my pollen filter turn up!

 

[RustyMojo]

Been told my radiator will be delivered today! This could be either a massive anticlimax or the win of the week

 

[RustyMojo]

It’s arrived, looks about right in terms of fitting placements from what I can see...however is deeper than my OEM radiator which is about 36mm with this being 48mm. Not actually sure if this is an actual issue, looks like it all should fit. Condenser attachment points look to be there....anyone have any ideas

 

[Amos91]

Think you need a blank for the hole in the middle though.

 

[Jason473]

Did you ever get round to fitting this? Ive just got the same one and need to blank the middle hole off

 

[RustyMojo]

I’ve still got it in the garage in the box! 😂😂 if anyone wants one give me a shout

 

[Jason473]

Ha fair play!

If anyone does buy it then this is the hole plug I went for (Amazon primed it as i'm impatient) https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07ZKGC3TK/?tag=cliospnet01-21

Can confirm this EIS rad fits absolutely fine in a 182 FF.

Rad fan bolts straight in (You'll need to use the captive nuts from your old rad but rescind them of their captive status!) Mounting rubbers fit in as they should with no modification.

Blanking plug is required:

Fits absolutely fine despite being thicker than the standard unit:

The A/C condenser also fits to it ok and mounting holes for it line up correctly. No pics unfortunately as I only trial fitted my gammy 16 year old standard Valeo unit.

Hope this helps anyone interested!

Sweet, I will get around to fitting mine when I finally do the coolant flush
