Just wondering what i would expect to pay for a new radiator and hoses?
And if anyone has one in good condition for a good price let me know.

and my other question is. whats the deal with wind screens. mine has a small chip on the pasenger side. I think they call it a bull chip maybe? its a perfect circle.
any how. would this pass rwc in vic?

*cough* hey!!! i don't see your zook in the "introduce youself" section?!!!

did i miss something? when did you get one?!!!

where's the pics and info!?? you're cheating us of the chance to bag it out

[Ashley]

hahaha. its not much to look at, at this stage. Bit rough around the edges. well chuck some pics up once its RWC.

[steve]

bah!! chuck some pics up! we love projects

in Qld you'd have to have the windscreen fixed i think. maybe cost $40?

dunno about radiators, usually can grab one from a mate , but could be exy new.

If you got in with some sierra people in your area i think you'd save heaps with stuff. ... a club maybe? even though clubs bitch a lot you can make some good contacts

PS: i see you're from "victoia" .. here's the new victoria suzuki club site.. http://www.vic.suzuki4wd.com

old site: http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Suzuki_4WD_Club/?yguid=164389387

clubs aren't suited to some people, but maybe be of interested to you for build ups.

yeah my brother had his window fixed once with a simular crack and they said if it does not pass rwc dont worry about coming back and paying. but his was on the drivers side.

I say we need pics too but you know what i pmed ya!

The chip is all good unless it's in the drivers side bit that the windcreen wiper washes!

Gotta get out wheelin soon!

IN VIC IT'S PRETTY STANDARD TO REPLACE SCREEN UNLESS IT'S CLOSE TO PERFECT.

[Ashley]

yeah i will find a good road worthy place.

A bit over a year ago I replaced my radiator but have heard of people getting them cheaper. Anyway costs list was:

Brand new radiator: $295
All three hoses: approx $45 from repco
Coolant: approx $15

and I replaced the thermostat and gasket while I was going as its cheap to do so. Can't remember price but think about $12 for thermostat.

thanks mate. Im getting the radiator done at the moment. Its costing me $230 to put i new core in it. But i also plan on doing the hoses and all. dont wanna be breaking down out the bush.
