I have been using a MK2 escort rad in my locost for about 3 years now, and i use as much rad weld as petrol.

them seem to be getting rare now (at a sensible price) Does anyone know what is a more modern replacement that is a similar size, and positions for mountings & hose inlets/outlets?

Cheers,

for the last 2 years.

Any particular model or year?

Cheers,

Its from a 1990 1.4 model.
it fits in the nosecone perfectly.
I think it was used from the early
80's until the early 90's

Polo Rads are available on line from Applied Radiators at a cost of £36.41 including delivery! Their website is fully searchable and the code for the VW polo item is VW302R.

Just get the Escort rad recored --- no re-engineering required.
look up radiator repair in yell.com


Word of waning never use Radweld (or much much nastier Barrs Leaks) in a modern car engine or radiator Radweld is OK for Cortina era and older cars (but expect to replace the thermostat it tends to make them stick) .
