What about a quick blast in a Locost followed by a bacon sarnie , that sounds like a good excuse

I should be there. Will be going to Beaulieu autojumble on the Saturday, so if anyone who'll be at Newlands wants me to look out for something,
let me know.
Chers,
Matt.

Should be there.
Dave,
Is your rad solid mounted to the chassis? Only ask as my Micra rad currently has rubber bushes supporting it but the mount is in the way of the
nosecone. The alternative mount won't be rubber. Just wondering if that's ok?
Cheers,
James

Rad
James - the lower mounts are two plastic spikes that go through the mild steel strip ,these are sitting on rubber ( tap washers) , the top 6mm bolt
mounting are solid. my old #escort rad was bolted solid to the chassis ,no problems.......
Ned - Rad came from Unipart /Serck Intertruck at Crawley , price = £47.00 inc VAT , you can find it cheaper but then you have to pay
postage...........

thanks Dave..
being a lazy ba****d I rang my local auto factors in guildford.
camberly auto factors came out cheapest at £51.33 inc vat. It'll be ready for me to collect from this afternoon
James - if you change your mind from the micra rad it's only just up the road for you
Ned.
ps: Dave, did it come with a fan or did you use the old escort one you had?

GSF, absolutely fantastic car parts place:
Essential for Veedub owners!
http://www.gsfcarparts.com/
Nearest one to Guidlford is Badshot Lee (Aldershot).
Assumed you meant the CAF "up the road from me" in Camberley/Northcamp as I'm in Farnborough at work right now.
... it was noon in Locostland, and confusion reigned!

Having just looked up motor factors in guildford ther are far more than i knew about (a.r.e and CAF) who are the people opposite b&q as you go
over the bridge on the left? is that where partco is? ever used them? Bit late now to bother ringing them as I've already ordered/paid for the
rad, but useful for future ref..

Ned - The fan came from a Renault 21 diesel ,there where 2 so I have an identical spare, I have a sierra fan that I was gonna use but it sounded a bit
whiney, the fan I had on the Escort rad was a small shrouded motorcycle one , not really sure if it was up to the job..........

Dave,
It looks very slim, any chance you might be persuaded to part with the spare one? if not i'll have to go have a dig round the scrappy..
I think the micra one is quite deep and much smaller diameter..
Ned.

Yeah, Partco over road from B&Q.
I bought my Sierra handbrake cable from them, that's all. Seem OK.
I go to GSF for VW stuff as they have most stuff and it's pretty good. (Although I saw something on telly that said some parts were pattern.)
For the Locost it's CAF for price (but Northcamp branch is staffed by tossers and there's often a long queue.
Guildford seems alright but it's much smaller.
ARE run by nice people but sometimes more pricey and it's miles from work.
Maybe I'll go with a Polo too now- it looks quite sexy!
I get a discount at CAF too!

Whats the part number for the polo rad from gsf ? i've got a depot just up the road from me.
Also does the bottom hose come out on the oposite corner to the top hose ?

I didn't ask them for the part number- sorry. It wasn't the same as Surrey Dave's number.
Martin (ex-mechanic who works there) reckoned it would be the '94 version as they changed around this time.
Just to complicate things!
Anyway Bob, what's wrong with your rad? I don't think a new rad will stop pinking!

poor bob CAF said it was the same part no as serk on their system, don't know who the supplier is though.
Special request/favour
Is anyone in the croyden area able to go to ducati london south (purley way cresent) for a pair of late ducati monster indicators for me? (same as
fozzie's!) I can't very easily get there when they're open and nowhere else seems to sell them. they are in stock and are £20.99
pair for front 2001 onwards indicators(oval lesnse with longer stems than the rears) I can give money to James to pass on if I don't make
newlands.. and of course i will be owing anyone that can help a tea/bacon roll
cheers all,
Ned.
ps, piccy:

GSF give 3 part numbers for polo rads in the 40 quid range,mentions 380mm and 430mm

it has to be 17322, 17322a or 17323 is this what you've narrowed it down to bob? my educated guess would be the 17323 one, it is 430mm (daves is
480mm overall, allowing for 25mm of plastic ends either side) and it is the right date range - 83-90. go and havea look if they've got one in
stock, it'll probably be quite apparent which one you want when it's infront of you!
