Here's the OEM one with a similar view. Welds could be better on the aftermarket one but not something you would normally see so a minor issue. http://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/graphics/parts/19010MAJG20_2_large.jpg

Couldn't quibble about the price!
They are aluminium.  Is that the same as the OEM?

Hi Yorkie
I got the radiator ok, but unfortunately it leaks, and its not repairable so ive had to go to plan B.

Seems like a great price to me Laurie, and 99.3% positive feedback is as good as it gets. If they are selling crappy parts they won't get a positive rating that high.

The Chinese radiator arrived today. One pipe is bent out of shape and both are 5mm undersize. Faaaark!

Bugger, seems to be leaking from the topend of the hose that goes to the oil cooler, pull it all apart and start again.....
