Petri, i think you made the right call.

If not for the time thing, the all-aluminium Universal Coolers job is the answer, but since they can't help, new OEM is never a bad option.

Ek het 'n Universal Coolers radiator en intercooler in my kar. Hulle is huidiglik Michael se primere verskaffer vir beide radiators en intercoolers.

Vakmanskap is uitstekend. Nie goedkoop nie, maar ek dink hierdie is een area waar mens eerder nie die goekoopste opsie vat nie...

I suspect this is a common problem for you okes who live by the seaside.

Am currently running Dunlop muds in 255/85, and have been very happy with them, but they do wear out...

Petri, I make a little spanner for locking the hubs. Fits easily in a door pocket or cubby hole and has a 13mm spanner on the other end (for a battery clamp).
