gingergman Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 rs turbo rads are shorter and have an extra outlet. if it was mine id just replace it with a new standard one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ben smith Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Ok so I apologize now, I'm sorry, bit I missed the opportunity to buy the one at the link and now I can't find a new one anywhere no matter where I look unless I want to spend big money, anyone have any ideas on what else I could do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badger Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I brought one online for around £70 but cannot remember where from but they are out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian71 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 If you want an alloy one try auto specialists, i have had two from there approx £200.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian71 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 If you still have your old one, it can be repaired and overhauled at a rad centre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ben smith Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 The one I have is so shagged it would probably be uneconomic to get it repaired Tbh I have been on Aaron radiatiors and they have one for the xr3i ... But I would like an alloy one ... But is it worth the extra pot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingergman Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I don't reckon an alloy one is worth it. As said above, see about getting your old one refurbed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingergman Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Pure bargain!!!! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-ESCORT-1-6I-1-4-1-6-XR3I-1-8-D-1-6-D-1-4I-1-6-86-90-Radiator-/291219290932?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item43ce05bb34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
