not a bad price to be honest I was quoted over £200 for the wj one. The cheap ones you get off ebay fail quickly so I would not buy one of them.

The cheap Ebay ones are crap and will leak
Get a re-core from the blokes round the corner and if it leaks again you can shout at some one

gazjeep · « **Reply #27 on:** March 06, 2012, 08:29:52 PM »

Yep, that price is to re build the current one.

Only fag is they you have to remove the rad from the car & take rad to them, they dont remove & re-fit anymore.

Good news is they are only 100 yds from work

Nosebolt · « **Reply #28 on:** March 06, 2012, 09:04:57 PM »

thats about right, but see if you can get them to fit an extra core, will help with static cooling when off road although don't know if the electricery will be affected, when I took the CJ from 2 core to 3 core there was only a £20 price difference, well worth it

Bishops Finger · « **Reply #29 on:** March 06, 2012, 10:03:15 PM »

Gaz...is it leaking from the cores or the plastic top? If the latter best bet is to source a new RHD rad..they are a weak point on TJ's...easy done.....even Ive managed it....

Jonny Jeep · « **Reply #30 on:** March 07, 2012, 08:14:59 PM »

Considering that recore price (£154+VAT = £184.80) I'd be looking at a brand new one. I got one a few weeks ago from a local car spares shop. £190 for a Nissens. It's a bigger single core, alli with plastic tanks, like Jeep switched to in later TJs rather than twin core like early TJs. I can see from my scan gauge that it cools better than the twin core rad I did have fitted.

Bit of an update for everyones info, here's the e-mail I received when I enquired about new hoses for the TJ from local Hereford & Worcester Jeep dealer.

Scary that some bits are not available.

Oil Cooler Return Hose

33004037 Clip £4.81 + vat (Italy)
52079895AA Fitting Kit £21.85 + vat
52118606AB Hose £35.47 + vat (Italy)

Oil Cooler Supply Hose

52079688AB Hose £69.85 + vat
52079895AA Fitting Kit £21.85 + vat (Italy)

Bottom Hose

052028144 £51.93 + vat (No Delivery Date)

Top Hose

Not supplied by Chrysler/Jeep any Longer

Heater Supply Hose

55036380AC £30.42 + vat (No Delivery Date)

Heater Return Hose

55036382AD £60.22 + vat (Italy)

Throttle Sensor

04874371AC £64.13 + vat

Crank Sensor

04897321AA £114.46 + vat

Some of these parts will take about 5 working days to get hold of due to them having to come from Italy. There is also 2 parts which are not showing in Chrysler's stock in either the UK or Italy. This means I would be unable to supply a delivery date. I have marked all these next to the above part numbers and prices. Tht Top Radiator hose is something that Chrysler now no longer supply.

Steve - since the break up from Daimler all shipments are from Italy - this can not be good news!!!

MOCAJ · « **Reply #35 on:** March 08, 2012, 08:16:32 PM »

i already know, been after a few bits recently and all 2 days away minimum

and rear light units, not stocked anymore ffs. good job there was some in germany but not from a dealer

and service from the dealers seems like they could not give a f....., doesnt help that my local dealer guys who i knew well are gone to the wall

gazjeep · « **Reply #36 on:** March 09, 2012, 06:20:38 PM »

While I have the info to hand for folk, new radiator from Jeep is £313.00 + VAT

Jonny Jeep · « **Reply #37 on:** March 09, 2012, 08:52:38 PM »

I got my bottom hose from the dealer when I did my radiator not entirely sure what I paid but it was the only place that seemed to have them anyway. Top hose I used is a LHD hose off ebay for £18.50 ish It jsut needed a bit trimming from the radiator end to fit. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-JEEP-WRANGLER-UPPER-RADIATOR-HOSE-P-N-52028264AB-/320842689677?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4ab3b6ec8d

I'll bet the rad from Jeep is very similar to the Nissens I got for half the dealers price.

gazjeep · « **Reply #38 on:** March 10, 2012, 10:05:12 AM »

Jonny, did you order direct from Nissenns or stockist ?

Clicky Linky would be nice

Jonny Jeep · « **Reply #39 on:** March 10, 2012, 08:56:28 PM »

No website, just the car shop we've used for years. Alan Quine Ltd, 253 Parr Lane, Unsworth, Bury, Lancashire, BL9 8LX.

I went up to the shop, they phoned their supplier and then said it would be £200. I didn't know what brand it would be till it turned up. Went back the next day and it was a Nissens for £192.

The LHD upper hose I used worked fine with 1 3/8" trimmed from the radiator end.

Try Pirtek?

Oh and Dodster got some silicone hoses off ebay.....

Maybe Demon Tweaks Jeepey etc etc...

gazjeep · « **Reply #41 on:** March 11, 2012, 09:46:25 AM »

Cheers chaps.

Waiting on the ebay supplier for price for all hoses & lighthouse on Monday

gazjeep · « **Reply #42 on:** March 12, 2012, 01:29:13 PM »

OK,

Any body think these are a bad idea, not the colour, the actual hoses as they are by far the cheapest & more importantly available option

Cheers

silly as it sounds have you tried mansfield 4x4? I got a top hose for teh wj for £12 and the bottom hose was similar in price.

bgbazz · « **Reply #44 on:** March 12, 2012, 01:41:26 PM »

Gaz

quite a few blokes in OZ are using those silicon hoses now and they reckon they are very good.

Dodster · « **Reply #45 on:** March 12, 2012, 02:03:57 PM »

Those are the ones I have Gaz, but I only had the top and bottom hose. I blew a top hose at Tong and G-force had a stall there with them, so got me out the shiet..
I havent fitted the bottom one yet but so far no probs with the top one.

gazjeep · « **Reply #46 on:** March 12, 2012, 02:25:51 PM »

Cheers chaps

Ringing various Jeep dealers, Lightys, local factors & parts places, they all come in about £200 + & not all are available so at £140 for the whole set seems the way to go.

Thanks again guys

gazjeep · « **Reply #47 on:** March 21, 2012, 12:28:06 AM »

Just to hopefully finish this off & give a heads up to others.

Rad sorted & new hoses fitted except the bottom rad hose.

In all inocense, the kit from the eBay seller was fine except for the bottom hose, totally different shape for our January 98 TJ. The guy was a bit surprised but offered up the bottom hose to a 97 TJ he had & agreed that it was in fact very different.

All being well, I will be getting a refund or he has even offered to replace with a standard part so a happy conclusion hopefully.
