A Nissan Micra or Polo rad is fine and is probably cheaper from a scrappy.

HTH,
James

Dave,

I can't remember what my Polo rad cost - but it wasn't a huge amount from that "German, Swedish and thingumy" place up on the Boss Hall estate.
It's a real squeeze in my Locost nose, so if the Tiger's narrower it ain't going to fit!

I can find out the cost if you can wait until this evening - although it'll be last year's price.

OK - here goes...

The company is "German Swedish & French Car Parts"

Their part number = 86712125 3E
I can't give any more details, as my receipt is for the one they sold me by mistake! They just changed the wrong one but didn't update the receipt.
However, I believe that it was for a 1.3L VW Polo, 84-91. Take advice before buying!
This has come up many times before in the past, so a search may help.
The price was around £42 + VAT - near-enough £50. Cheaper in a scrappy, but nice and clean, and warranted leak-free!

David

P.S. Dave - You're welcome to come and have a look at my rad if you want - the nose is off at the moment while I muck around with the cooling system.

yep, mine came from a late polo, and fits upright in front of the chassis. Tight, but it fits !
