What do owners do about these plastic and aluminium radiators once they start leaking? (Usually on the seal betwee the core and plastic header tank) 

I tried a Wynns specilised treatment which worked for a little while until the car ran hot...

It's now been off the road for over a month, while some highly reccommended people at Silverton Radiators promised to make an accurate replica in brass and copper, but didn't! 

R3,000 later and after 3 visits to them plus a full scale drawing to explain how it should be (I even gave them a sample) I'm about to commit murder next week if I go there to collect, and it's still not right.   Angry

Unfortunately FIAT don't seem to have any new ones either...

I've had my reproduction radiator fitted for a couple of months now, and it works a treat.  No more daily top-ups!  Grin

The only snag was that the depth of the new core was slightly shallower than the original, but luckily the bottom of the fan shroud bracket just clears the oil cooler below.

There were some new Thema rads on eBay a while back too, but after a friend and I ordered a couple, the seller admitted they were not the correct item - wrongly boxed, or so he said. Roll Eyes
