So I drove around for about a week or so... parked it up, and when I came back to start it - noticed the Rad was leaking... And I wasn't going to spend upwards of £400 to get it re-cored. I decided that this might be the straw that broke the camels back, and pushed me into more seriously fitting the V8 that I had sat next to it for all those years... So I investigated alloy rads on eBay, and found that a reproduction one from a triumph TR8 would not only fit, but would be more than man enough in case the V8 got slotted in... (gross, huh?) (Excuse the Creative Director checking things out) Size comparison Fits like a glove, and is nearly twice the size! So, while this piece of **** 2.3 litre, 4 banger still runs... It stays (I kind like keeping this old thing running to be honest. And anyway, the V8 that I had dry-stored for years, has seized - so I need to rethink that before I make any serious decisions)
