This is our2019 P6 radiator and as you can see it has failed where the tube goes into the top tank. Kerry Kerry, looks like the actual pipe has a radial crack, as opposed to a failed weld - quite unusual Hopefully Simon of SiFab will comment with a proper tech view ? Jon M

Back in 2008 I had a couple of replacements for a new Caterham i had at the time, i eventually bought a Pro Alloy rad and never looked back. My 2011 Plus 4 radiator expired at 3 years old, usual issue, leakage at the header tank / core crimped joint. Installed the Mulfab kit, problem solved, still going strong. Pro Alloy manufacture some great ali rads etc. My pal has just took delivery of an ali rad for his C-Type Jaguar, it too nice to install in the car.

You need to make your device as cheaply as possible but within a defined standard of quality. People often underestimate basics. Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Like Simon above, I'm suspicious of the swirl pot's ability to fix what appears to be a fundamental mounting issue. Ho hum. Time to get those wings off again...

A radiator fitted in September (obviously few miles since) should not then fail again..... I think I would be asking for a replacement vehicle and rejecting the car? I could put up with a few niggles (I accept it is a Morgan i.e., hand built, low volume car) but a decent radiator IS a fundament that needs to be 100%?

It would be intersting to hear if its the actual radiator that has failed again or an associated fitting or hose.

Dave, looking at previous images within this thread, they have shown it is the radiator. Honesty means doing it right, even when no one is looking! 2004 Roadster S1 3.0 V6 gone! Mark
