hi guys
looking for a new suzuki sierra radiator (1.3L 1995). been through the contacts post and the bible, but any other ideas ? They tend to be around the $270-ish mark. Been thinking of replacing it with another small radiator from another car (barina or something).
tring to shop around as i'm a poor uni student! (spare a penny?!)
cheers

Hey m8,
dunno where your located or the type of driving you prefer, but i wouldn't be downsizing the radiator.
Cast alloy blocks really hate overheating and a day of crawling around in the scrub can push the temp up easy.

only problem with an ESCORT radiator is the top hose is on the passenger side of the top tank. 4cly cortina rads are also the same.

Hmm, maybe not escort then. I can get a pic of mine if u need. It looks the same as a normal sierra one almost but does not have the drain hole in the bottom and also uses a bigger cap.
cheers
