Well, as some of you know I has 'issues' with my Milner rad, so on Monday they had it back. I then placed an order from AutoKool. These people are primarily an Aircon business based just North of Chesterfield. The rad had the correct OE part numbers and dimensions and was very slightly cheaper than the Milner rad. It came today, ordered Monday evening for £7.50 by UPS. What can I say? Firstly it weighs at least twice as much as the Milner one. It is ALL steel construction. No plastic headers or anything. It is all fully coated. Even the fins. I think that this will outlast the truck. Couple of points, there were some loose bits of solder to fish out of the header and the pipe fittings where the auto box couples on are fixed pipes not the screw on fitting that come with the original. Well one less joint I suppose.
The OE brackets fit straight on without needing to be drilled out!! I shall fit it tonight and take some pics. I will then put up a post with the pics in reverse so that it looks like a guide on how to take one out. It's no mystery, but it can go up on the 'how to' section for those who have never taken one out before.
All round a very decent looking rad. i will put up pics of the unit on the next thread. Someone mentioned changing the rad yesterday and where to get one from. So far I'd say Autokool.
