i've seen tidier.. and on ally lorry bodies too.
lol looks like a college project
To be fair as long as it sealed then thats all that matters,but i would expect better i have to admit
Abit fussy.....but it is a mass produced item (from China IIRC)!! You could always have kept the cheap plastic one i guess....
look's like a friday afternoon rad to me :roll:
mine are a little cleaner than that tbh, but yeah its mass produced so .......
all you can do is complain...might get a few pennies back...because they are fugly
When all said and done, once it is in the car no-one will see it anyway!!
it would bug me though knowing its there...:roll:Quote:

May have moan and see what gives, whatever happened to quality British child slave labourlol
Must be me agelol
You can't expect quality welds when the kids making them are only getting paid one bowl of rice per day lol
just recently got one of these for my nova looks good to me for the money lol
Very impressive TIG welding for a seven year old.
thats god awful welding, you would think if the toddler is doing them 22hrs a day then he would better at it than that.
If i was presented that at work i would reject it.
Mine are better than that, haven't checked the new one tho...
my TX rad leaks and i carnt send it back so ill have get it fixed not worth the money
^ why cant you send it back?
find anyone that can ally weld and pay them a fiver to repair the hole its very easy.Quote:

True most of the chinese fab'd stuff we get to test is rotten, but the stuff we test going to china is subject to the most stringent tests of anywhere in the world. Any double standards going on lol
ill second that, the one that is in my mrs nova was fine for the first 12 mnths then started leaking where one of the veins entered the end tank, i got some special glue type stuff from pace to put on and its been fine sinceQuote:

matt-this glue stuff; any pics/links/info..?
TBH I have heard of Pro Alloy stuff having problems as well and they cost double what a TX one costs.
i just rang them up mate and they sorted me out with it, they dont have it listed on there site thoughQuote:

If mine leaks I'll either be wanting one that doesn't or my cash back
You can't sell a rad for £140 then have it leak with no use

Have you rung them up? I'd have thought they'ed be able to see it's not been used alot So might be able to do something...
no havent bothered to phone because i carnt be a*sed with the hassel of s sending it back or them saying that its to late to return it theres a place not far from me that fix rads so im going to send it to them
surely a 1min phone call is surely worth it, what if they say send it back and we'll swap it...
did you use the o ring that came with the blanking plug for the switch?Quote:
