would imagine the nissens to be cheaper anyway, i had a nissens on my old dt and never had a seconds trouble with, was very well priced too.i would go for nissens myself. in saying that my own car has an "ordonez" or something rad, its not the original anyway but doesnt look in great shape for only 4 year old. ________________________________________  |

What negative comments have you heard about the alloy rads? I've yet to read or hear anything bad about them, and I have a nissens fitted. The standard ones rust, where as the alloys don't. Took mine to Carl and had one put in, he showed me my standard pug rad and it was pretty bad to say the least.________________________________________ Racing driver, fighter pilot, astronaut, compulsive liar. |

Ordonez is the standard fit rad I thought I've got a Nissen's rad fitted (by Carl funnily enough) and it's been fine. Still looks new in fact. Saying that, the car has done barely 12k in almost 2 years!  ________________________________________ My old man wrote me a letter from prison once.
