Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Well my Radiator has shit itself. ive been trying to get some good prices on a replacement or repair. so far ive been told that i cannot get a replacement, to repair it if its the core will be 200 & tank would be 250-300. I cannot find a reco'd or 2nd hand one anywhere.

anyone have one or know where i can get one from.

Or would anything else fit 92 Fez WT. i found a rocky one but i dont know if itll fit

Thanks.

i cant really help with your first question but i do suggest that you aim to upgrade it at the same time as overheating is a problem is the fez!

once mine goes i will be looking for a better one but still no idea on what.

sorry

Who's the tard that told you you couldn't get a replacement
Give these blokes a call:

Riverstone Radiators
63 Wellington St
Riverstone, NSW 2765
(02) 9627 4657

They found me a new replacement for my rocky. Failing that, genuine. When i was looking around it wasn't that much more. Maybe 50-80bucks on top. Go to Toyota in Penrith for that.

Penrith Radiators.

They argued that there is no such car as a feroza with me for 15 minutes first before telling me they couldnt get it.

i thought i must have been driving a magical elf car powered by the laughter of litlte children!

but yeah thanks ill check em out

If you still can't find one, I have a 2nd hand one from a 94 wide track Feroza (in Guildford so i'm not far from you). You will just need to have a look and see if it's the same as the one you have now.

Just PM me if your interested.

I think we may finally have found someone who can give Suzi4 wreckers a run for the award of biggest knobs in Sydney.

Do a search on radiators (although the pics will most likely be missing); there's probably a thread in the FAQ as well.

There's info on here that you will find very useful.

in my post about the 1770 trip i said i can get a brand new genuine radiator for $360 ish if i recall...... i think retail is about 500 for a wt feroza from toyota

Availablilty & $$$$ has been my main problem ive found some guys how can get em but wont be getting em any time soon...

Anyone know if i can fit any other radiator to do the job??? or does it need to be for a fez

I was in the same boat - wanted more cooling capacity, Went to my local radiator place and initially the answer was no only a replacement 2 row core available. Decided that a new 2 row core was better than an old one so said to go ahead.

Next day he rang up and said he'd found a 3 row core that would fit did I want it.... ?

Long and short, I've a 3 row re core in my Feroza, from memory was about $20 dearer than a 2 row.

This was NOT a new radiator - just the core was replaced, but as that's the bit that does the work who cares ?

What'd you end up getting and from where?

i havnt got anything yet. hope to get it sorted soon

i was quoted from daircare in the shire for 480 brand new original

thanks misterhoang, u got a phone # for that joint.

Sadly im still on the hunt

heres the number : 9522 7111
all the best

feroza rad is the same as toyota early hilux for memory just the top tank needs to re drilled on move the pipe over. they did that up here in brisbane for my old wide body feroza . and it was not that dear .you neeed to speak to and old school rad guy not some bloke that reads a parts book.

There are at least three different radiators to fit Ferozas, and they aren't interchangeable! So shop carefully.

i was aware of the variations of radiators, when i asked for a quote the blokes at daicare asked for the chasis number of the vehicle so i just assumed they matched the chasis number to the right sized radiator

this is gonna be my last attempt! if i cant get the radiator im gonna set the on FIRE

Ill strip the parts first and let you boys know!

What's the problem - get it recored.

Your making it hard for yourself.

to get a reco done its gonna cost just as much as a new one.

so i thought whats the point

So whats the issue - the tanks and frame don' wear or clog.

A re-rore can also go tho three row for virtually no extra cost so you could argue its actually an improvrment

The tanks do "wear" (corrode), that's what failed on mine. You should be able to get new tanks fitted though.

Yes I suppose that could be true....... I've not seen it as I keep my vehicles cooling system maitained pretty frequently.

However, unless i've misintrepreted his comments, it doesn't sound like that's what his problem is and so its still the best solution ( especially three row ) IMO.

I had baffles put into my tanks to ensure the water actiually flowed through all the core and it did seem to make a small improvement.

Its now basically divided in quarters. 2 row i'm uncertain if i'd do it, but with a three row....

What originally happened was that the car would overheat constantly. So i minimised drive to while trying to find a radiator joint to repair the rad.

My cuz who at the time had a trusty zook needed a car as he somehow bent a piston or something in his zook. So i lent him the fez until his was fixed.

He took it to work (as a apprentice mechanic) knowing i was having some radiator problems, decided to pressure test the radiator.

All i know now is that water comes out faster then it goes in!

From what i can see the top is ok. about half way down water comes out the front & back of the radiator and poors out the bottom.

i figured its well so id just replace the thing rather then getting the core done or just the tanks or the cost to have it repaired.

YEEEUUUWWW!!!!! I finally got it! should be in and running this weekend.
