Correction: it has corroded and has started leaking. I checked the fluids today and the sodding coolant tank was empty. Mty reactions upon seing this was: "Erk!" Fortunately there was still liquid in the radiator. I topped it up then took it for a trundle - there's a definite stain down the radiator and a smell of hot coolant. Oh, well, not a complete surprise but less convenient than doing it at my leisure.
That was one fo the "three times as expensive" items I looked at unfortunately. New genuine Daihatsu (albeit from a local dealer who aren't the cheapest) £300. I have seen them priced at £150 but I need more info before I go that route - the £10 aftermarket CV gaiter I bought was a bit shit. Anyone know the relative merits of re-cored radiators vs aftermarket ones vs original fitment?

The only option for unobtainium like my GFRs. Had mine done by a bike aluminium radiator specialist in London somewhere. -- +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Pete Fisher at Home: | | Voxan Roadster Yamaha WR250Z/Supermoto "Old Gimmer's Hillclimber" | | Gilera GFR * 2 Moto Morini 2C/375 Morini 350 "Forgotten Error" | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
Yellow pages is your friend. I have had several radiators re-cored by a company in Avonmouth near Bristol. Almost always cheaper than buying a replacement from a main dealer.
