Replacement Radiator
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,
B

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

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) .

I couldn't work out how to search on the site but found it any way. Although it says its for a seat.
