MR2 Owners Club

I'm looking round for a new radiator as mine is disintegrating fast and the only place I can find one is TCB (which I'm happy to buy from) and few on ebay from China with huge lead times.

I know Toyota don't do them now, is there really nowhere else in the UK to get one from? I thought there'd be plenty of choice on these.

If TCB has them at a reasonable price I would probably go for, Also worth checking out getting yours recored. Last time I was looking I got a quote from a place in Edinburgh for under £100. I would have gone with that if I hadn't come across a new one on Ebay for the same money. That was a few years ago and there weren't many on the go then. Are you a member of the MK1 club ?

I used to be back in the day, wasn't even sure if they were still going these days.

I'll probably go for the TCB rad, just hope they have stock when I call them tomorrow. If not I guess it'll have to be a recore, never thought about that, just surprised at the lack of options for what should be a fairly common part.

Just spoke to TCB and the rad's are now discontinued so it's a recore or wait for two months for a new one from China.

Not sure if you got my reply Jimi, it seems to be sitting in my Outbox and won't move.

PM's stay in your outbox until they are read.

Found these alloy ones on eBay, not cheap https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from ... +&_sacat=0

Also this company appears to have, again not cheap https://www.adrad.co.uk/prices/prices.p ... ake=TOYOTA

Can't vouch for the quality/fit of either

I got the same one from eBay fitted to mine and it’s been perfect.

A place in Edinburgh called Scotrad used to recore rads, I knew the sons owner for a while and they had a good rep.

Most likely the same place that’s been mentioned previously in the thread I reckon.

Did you get the german one off ebay?

Bear in mind he has a MK2 Turbo

Pretty sure Scotrad was one of the places I got a quote from https://www.scotrad.co.uk/

Mind it’s a UK Rev 2 with a Rev turbo conversion, in case that makes a diffrence.

Not really, CleMR2 has a MK1, different radiator.
Althought its always good to know the one you got is good if it's the same manufacturer
