The radiator repair I had done included the comment: " I can't guarantee it". I asked the question what do you mean by that!! His explanation included a weak core and a poor previous repair job.
OK. I need a new radiator at a reasonable price. Has anyone had experience with the radiator perpetually advertised on E-Bay for the 108?
I cleaned the oil cooler after noticing that there is a small leak. I will need to find a cooler as well-your thoughts..

Thanks,
Turner

Can't he re-core it? It won't be cheap but he should be able to warranty it if needed.

I did check on the core replacement and am considering this route as an option.
The choices are limited and very pricey so I am just seeking opinions and advice from this forum to repair/replace radiator and oil cooler.
Thanks for any input.....
