Hi all,
Can anyone point me in the right direction for buying a new radiator for my nb on a weekend? Would like to fix it this weekend but sca and repco don't stock them. I'm after a new one, preferably better than oem.
Any help is appreciated.

Re: Where to buy nb radiator on a weekend in Victoria
Looks like I need to get one during the week. I'd like to get a decent alloy one. Any recommendations in Victoria? Thanks

Only eBay or Sydney. Not aware of anyone in Melb who keep either on the shelf.

Had one from there in the NA for a couple of years with no issue so far. Not a PWR but has done the job...

preferably better than OEM. The truth I suspect is that the OEM is in fact the better unit. So the top tank eventually dies say 15 years... Comes down to cost and how long to keep the car.

Bought the eBay spec one above. Bolted in no worries. Time will tell I guess if it was the right choice.
