Car Forum / MINI / November 2005radiator advice
Hi Our open classic has a weeping radiator. Been having a look for a replacement but there are various types and numbers of cores. Trying to find out what to look for to get same spec replacement. Thanks Gary MiniSPares sell a 2 core radiator, and I can certainly recommend this. I run a modified 1380cc engine with this rad, and it runs cooler than the original 1275cc engine did on the standard rad.

Since then its run much cooler. Do you have an electric fan? as Im still on the old manual one. cheers -anthony >> MiniSPares sell a 2 core radiator, and I can certainly >> recommend this.

It still has the mechanical fan but also an auxiliary electric fan that only really comes on in extreme conditions. If you have the wing mounted electric fan and you want to upgrade to a 2 core radiator, remember to get the one with the thermostat switch fitted.

Ah mines 1981 do none of that fancy electric stuff to be found. The main reason for my overheating (now I think about it) was the spotlights fitted to the front, with the centre 2 missing it ran a lot cooler. 2 core rad is fine with all the spots! -anthony www.downdraught.co.uk > Dave |
