Unless you have a plastic tank radiator and they break the tanks getting them off, then you're screwed and don't have a radiator at all. Sore point there.

Look for a Natrad dealer. Should be under $300. When I bought my last one they had two available - plastic tanks for $260 and steel tanks (dunno what exactly) $290. I went for the steel tank but did then need to buy a new shroud from Suzuki Spares, as it's a slightly different shape to the plastic tank one. Set me back a pretty reasonable $26 fo the shroud brand new I believe.

"Rodded" means the shop takes off the top tank and sticks a long dipstick down each and every tube to clear them out, the top tank is then refitted.

I sell brand new 1.3 Sierra rads for $190...or...Vit 1.6 rads $200.... Each an extra $40 for delivery anywhere in Aust.
