Re: 2 core/ 3 core radiator

That looks like a smart radiator. Would love to see pics of the install.
If poss can you post sketches and dimensions of any brackets, blanking plates you fabricate.

Would love to hear how well it works under load.

Well iv got it, £115 plus Vat so it came to £138 he wouldnt drop the vat for cash tho. Hopefully it will help for the summer. Iv also had the filler cap moved to the side. I can highly reccomend him. He rang me up with a question after a couple of days aswell, he finished it a week less then he said.

Re: 2 core/ 3 core radiator

That looks pretty good.
Filling the spaces above the radiator will help force air through the rad rather than it flowing over the top, all the time the car is moving forwards.
It should make a noticeable difference if not cure any overheating problems. The next step, if needed, is to fit a fan.

Re: 2 core/ 3 core radiator

Iv got 2 fans already lol But thanks anyway . It seems to of cured my problem and iv put even put a stat back in. Im hoping i wont have to have the electric fan on all the time now. I left the car running whilst i was working on it without the electric fan fitted and heater switched off and it just stayed below normal. So time will tell if it has cured things. I didnt change it cause it was overheating tho i had split the top getting the cap on and off so many times but it did used to get warm going up long hills even with the heater and both fans on. Plus iv now gone back to my single heater matrix aswell. Thanks guys.

Re: 2 core/ 3 core radiator

Just been out for abit of drive and all seems well. didnt use the electric fan once and had the heater off the whole time. I dont no if any of you are having great weather but it was lovely going for a drive in exmoor espically when your not worrying about overheating.
