Default AU XR8 radiator

Guys,

My AU XR8 sprung a leak today, are all 6's and 8's radiators the same? Also there is a lot of after market ones out there, what would be the recommended radiator for a 220.

Cheers

Same Same, i bought some china $110 special from the local wholesaler, been good for a year so far. Built no different to a top unit from the eye, havent seen many complain about china radiators either.
Try your luck!

Changed the radiator yesterday, as well as a new overflow bottle.Took me all day, especially after I noticed the overflow sensor grommet had perished after I removed the sensor, lucky Ford still had them in stock. Got there in the end.

Cheers
