I can't seem to find one anywhere. I'm having the cam belt etc' done and my nearly new (plastic and metal) radiator is leaking so I might as well get that done as well. It's a 20v turbo with aircon, does the aircon make a difference? The cambelt kit is the Dayco one off ebay unless anyone knows any better! Thanks in advance.

I bought the aluminium one off ebay - "Direnza" I think its called. Went in fine with aircon rad and seems to work well.

Cheers Clanger, sold out I'm afraid. Best I can find at the minute £200 off advanced radiators. That and £270 for cam belt kit before labour is getting ridiculous. My daughter wants me to drop her at her prom in it on the 20th though!!

Is this a first? You can't buy a 20vt radiator in England.

It's not just England. I had the standard one on order (in fact it still is) with a usually reliable motor factor here in France back in April and his suppliers came back saying there is no stock anywhere in France! They are advertised here online via all the usual outlets but when you inquire there is no stock, I checked again today. That's why I reluctantly bought the Direnza one from the UK.

Is that the one listed as being from China with free shipping? Looks like the one being sold as Direnza, that would make sense.

Thanks everyone, I need one for next week. I suppose as its only a very small leak I'll have to use it sparingly but I HAVE to do the cambelt. Is this the way it's going with these cars that there will be limited spares which will drive prices down until they become a true classic?

Looks like they only recore them Nothing wrong with a re-cored radiator if it has been done properly.
16VT and X1/9 1500
We must all do our part for the planet. I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.

Anyone know if it's the same radiator for the 20n/a? If so I have been monumentally daft......

Are the 20N/A's available? Yes the N/As are relatively easy to get hold of. It's the turbo version which are like hen's teeth. Apparently the NA can be modded to fit, but it's not ideal.
