Get the Rover 600 rad, nice and cheap

Check that it fits!! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROVER-600-1-6 ... SwMVFXIN6P

I have a Rover 600 rad in the race car, I think it was only £30 new.

Are 5g radiator's compatible with 4g's?
Are auto rads different to manuals?

5th gen rads have different mounting points to 4th gens. The hose connections are in a slightly different position as well.

And I believe you can run an auto's rad on a manual if you block the transmission cooler ports, but this obviously doesn't work vice versa, for the manual rad lacking the transmission cooler ports.

To be fair though, is £40 not cheap enough?

good info, thank you for that Nath

Yeh £40 isn't bad but I'll need to sort a few things on the car so I was just trying to budget the best I can. I'll fork out for the new one if required don't get me wrong, just checking what was it there first
