Were to buy Gsi rad

[auzzy-b]

Anybody know the best place to get a brand new gsi radiator from???? i seen them on ebay for £60 posted but entirely sure there the correct one!..

[Steve]

Try the yellow pages, there was a place near me that did them.

But at the same time if its for a 2.0 conversion you dont necessarily need a gsi one, mine runs fine on the 1.2 rad, just make sure the temp switch works for the fan :thumb:

i got my radiator brand new off ebay gte/gsi with no problems atall,in fact i have the GTE,the one shown was for a gsi(but im sure there all the same fitment anyhow's,well must be,lol read on)i was told there was a later spec radiator, that has slightly larger internal cores!!!not sure if this is true???but the same fitment so i bought it fitted it no problems atall.
EDIT; i only paid around £25 quid for mine(,you can definatly get them cheaper than £60 on ebay, even new from ebay shops.

most pattern rads are gsi size to keep manufacturing costs down, just watch out that the bottom hose is at the right height

[Mike]

Got mine off eBay for £48 delivered. Genuine Valeo item.

[draper]

Halfords

Halfords i would of never thought of them for car rads?? ill give them a try:thumb: I did try carcraft but they were waaay expensive:eek:

[Adam]

What do you call expensive?

[auzzy-b]

Well ebay can do them at £60 including delivery so not really too pricey compared to carcraft who quoted me around £100:wtf:

[craig green]

Some pattern ones are utterly crap. I got a genuine Valeo one from Halfords for about £70 IIRC.

[Lee H]

I got a genuine one from BMS (local motorfactors) for about £45 about 6 months ago.

[auzzy-b]

bms, £70? abs £60 for a valeo! sounds ok but which one ac/non ac whats actually the difference on them, which would be better??
