My beta coupe 2.0ie has a leaky radiator. I can’t see any new beta radiators on the web. Any suggestions about a similar shape replacement? Also any recommendations of radiator specialists, I’m based in Hampshire and tempted to go down the route of taking the car to someone to see what they can do. Thanks. Mark

Check the 'cooling' section of the Forum, I seem to recall several recommendations/solutions in there. The great advantage of this site v Facebook etc. is that you have years, even decades of previous advice on tap.

Hi Mark

I am assuming you have plastic tanks top and bottom?

These may be recorable, but you would have to enquire on radiator refurbisher. I used Lincolnshire Radiators in Lincoln to recore my early all metal radiator, but that would be a much more traditional fix.

Hi Mark,

I'd get it done properly.  I had a plastic (top and bottom) Beta radiator that was re-cored by Aem Group Ltd in Shropshire (https://www.aemgrouptelford.co.uk).  Cost £180 in August 2013!

Regards,

Chris

Hi Mark

As Chris says go to a specialist who does this job all the time and then you can fit and forget hopefully. Good to hear you can recore the plastic topped ones as that is the more common I would guess.

My 83 hpe came to me with an all-metal rad.
I had it recored by a local company here in Sittingbourne.

He's an old schooler, not on the internet.
 I'm sure you'll find
a more local company to help you.
