Well, I'm tired of getting out of the TR and feeling hot all over.

When the fans go on the heat from the engine and the radiator goes all over me and it's annoying as hell (spesh in summer).

Question is, how much do radiators go for for a 93 TR?

I did see a nice chrome silver one on ebay a little while back for $250

Might go down and see the blokes who flushed it last time and get a quote, or do you think it will be cheaper to get it flushed again (cost me $120 last time).

Or wreckers possibly a better option?

EDIT: Almost forgot, I found a 93' engine on ebay for $350 for a change over

You could get the radiator checked out - they should let you know if a new one is needed.

But for me, if yours has been flushed once allready and still giving you problems, then I'd seriously consider just getting a new one.

I once saw a post here on AMC warning against wrecker's for radiators as they often have problems with the plastic top tanks - something about sitting with the bonnets up for days etc. and the sun effecting the plastic.

Check out these threads... I think the Aluminium Rad's on ebay are the 'chrome/silver' ones your thinking about. Still had no problems with mine.

Nah I had my plastic one replaced when I got it flushed in feb last year (my plastic one was GLUED ON)

I'll take it into my radiator guy and get his opinion.

Go for one of the generic Alloy Core radiators as I've heard nothing but good things about this type of radiator.
