New radiator?
« on: January 31, 2011, 05:08:49 PM »
Hi

Was wondering if anyone can offer any advice?

I need a new rad for my '01 wrangler and was wondering if anyone has advice on what to fit? Ie standard or an aftermarket one? or something from another vehicle that fits and does a better job?

many thanks

Paul

As I recall, most TJ rads in the UK are for LHD, which don't fit without modification. Your best bet for a
painless install would be a re-core.

Thanks for the replies.

Crysler want £240 +vat hence the reason i was curious what others, if any fit!

I have looked at some on ukcarcooling sites and they seem to come in at about £200inc vat and delivery so just need to either decide that they are good enough or get it direct.

Thanks

i bought one off ebay just before xmas. £160 inc delivery. its got a plastice top though. It was from a rad specialist. He normaly only advertises left hand drive ones for about £100, but got me a rhd ok. There is a place in colchester essex that rebuilds them if thats any use.
