Radiator for 182

[Coby.]

I've got a bad leak in my Radiator so am needing a new one, I have a Renault Mechanic friend who will price up the cost of one from Renault BUT am just wondering if there are any good Aftermarket Jobbies or if anyone knows where I can get a new one cheaper?

Thanks
Andy.

is it actually a bad leak, thought i had one on my 172, got a new rad and everything, took the old one out and there was a big white nylon nut in where a temp switch could go, it was loose, might be worth a look

Mechanic Friend checked it over and was in no doubt it was a Split/Crack in the Rad

£218.82+vat for a new one!!

Bloody hell... Wasn't expecting it to be that much... Know of anyone/anywhere that might have a spare Fred?

I could always try Cit-Ren as they are local but they are fairly pricey usually

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah try CODGEY on here, see for sale, he's breaking his 182

I can get a hella rad for an air con 172 for about 100+vat + delivery, i have one in mine when mine started to leak

 

[Coby.]

Is the Radiator the same ona 182? I would presume all F4R Engine's run the same radiator but being Renault no doubt they changed something.

 

[broster@JAM-Sport]

i shall check pm me your reg.
