Hi all

I need a new radiator. My one is corroded and has a slow leak. I have seen new ones on ebay for around £90 plus delivery. My local motor factor (autosave)has quoted £175 and I not even going to bother with going to bmw - no offence John Clark (unless you can pleasantly surprise me with a sensible cost). Has anyone else purchased one off ebay from the various motor factors that are there - I guess from the price; the £90 radiator with 2 year warrantly (how much is that really worth if you need to make a claim) is probably the same manufacturer regardless of which supplier you buy it from. Any good or bad stories welcome. Thanks

I'm pretty sure we are cheaper than the factors (Dingbro, autosave etc)

I can price up on Tuesday, as Monday is bank holiday, also, the eBay one, does it supply a part number?
