My OE radiator needs to be changed and I am looking for an alloy version as I am quite disappointed about the OE copper one leaving me just after 6 years. Can be an uprated one but doesn't have to be PA/Pace, as they are above the 500 mark.. Thanks, Jochen Last edited by plasticomnium; 13/06/2014 14:30.
