Hi Chaps,

Whilst repairing my PS leak I have discovered that the Rad is rotten and falling to bits, so I took it out.

Where would be a good place to get a replacement? I found this http://www.adrad.co.uk/prices/prices.ph ... make=HONDA

I was thinking I might change the hoses as well if its worth it. edit - I can find plenty o fhose kits for the H22 but none for the F20, the top hose is the same but the lower is different :(

I am also in need of one for my H22 as pressure tested sat and leaking :(, I have had a rad from adred in the past on my 2.0 4th gen they are as good as standard, as for hoses would think Honda only part :/

On 12tune they have US Racing hoses and they say they will fit the 2.0, 2.2 and 2.3 where as all the other hose people seem to leave out the 2.0. They have different part numbers on Lings for the lower pipe. If anyone knows if the hoses are similar enough to fit I'll go for it if not I'll refit the hoses I have already got. There is nothing wrong with them they are just old and boring black.

Not sure if this helps either of you out - I have my old radiator spare which I'm willing to sell. It has hardly done any miles before I took it out for my upgraded ali rad. It has a small amount of red overspray to the front but you can't see it sat behind the aircon rad.

Anyone's delivered for £30. The link Merlin posted seems very cheap so it's up to you. Mine was from a rad specialist locally and cost me £90 new.

Let me find a pic in my build when I removed it... :arrow:

Oh no worries, I wrote that a bit wrong. I mean it seems like a good buy to me, so it's up to him which to get. I forgot to add than mine is from a H22, I didn't know ther was any differences from a 2.0i though?

I guess my £30 delivered doesn't look so tempting now! :roll: :lol:

Well I've been meaning to get rid for a while now, so maybe a bargain price of £20 posted might tempt?

Found the pics:

Up to either of you. :D

No worries. :wink:

One of these days, I'll actually post a proper for sale thread for it. My garage is at breaking point, I'll have to bin things if I don't and that's just a waste.

Good luck fitting and sorting it, let us know what you find out on the hoses - while they are moulded to shape they do have some give in them, I wonder just how different they are and that some H22 hoses would fit? :?

I would of prob have that and i'm passing near Bristol tomorrow or Wednesday, but haven't measured the fixing distance on mine so might not fit :(
