The lower coolant hose point on my plastic radiator has broken. Guess I need a new radiator. Where can I buy a new radiator for a 4/4 Sport and would Forum users recommend an aluminium one?
Can this be replaced from below or do I need to take the grill and cowl to bits?

Plastic rad?
Crikey.
Peter Mulberry (Mulfab) ally rads come highly recommended.

If can justify the expense go for an all metal radiator. The plastic end tanks embrittle, crack, and deform over time and begin to leak. The inlets and outlets can break off without warning and dump the coolant in an instant.

Go metal. Plastic radiators evolved when accountants and not engineers started running car manufacturers.
