If Its Not One Thing Its Another

[Guest mcramsay]

sods law i put up a new shelf in the garage last night, and put some tins and other rubbish on top of the shelf. i went into the garage this morning to find that the shelf had fallen down and thrown said items into the radiator! luckily the paint didnt spill nor did i have the nose cone on! unfortunatley i now have quite a few gaping holes in the radiator and water all over the floor. Can any one suggest a nice replacement radiator? i dont mind going for a new coolman radiator but if theres another option out there that looks niceer and fits inside the Zero Nose cone a bit better im all for changing! if any one has used a different radiator please let me know!

Sorry to hear that mate. Cannot help you re the radiator problem, but a similar thing happened to me, although my motorbike's paddock stand was hanging from a hook on a rafter and the hook gave way, sending the 10 kilo stand crashing into the shelf below, which then came away from the wall with everything on it, and then down onto the rear of the car. Luckily the spare wheel took most of the fall but a few heavy things like my battery drills hit the o/s rear wheel arch causing a few dings.

Luckily I also had my complete scuttle including windscreen on the floor tight up behind the car and after the stand hit the wheel it came to rest on top of the screen causing no damage. Lucky yes, enraged definately yes!

 

Hope you get it sorted

Can you post a pic of your old radiator and then we can see what we've got that might be of use. I know I've got a couple of Escort diesel rads, an XR4i & a Granada V6 rad in the shed.

I will post up a pic in the morning!

The VW Polo rads are all ally some thicker than others all will fit upright in a 7's nose cone but require a header tank.
