i havnt looked where your from, but i just got a rad from
http://e30zone.co.uk/modules.php?name=F ... le&u=12135
her chap breaks e30's at junction 9 off the m6 somewhere!
the rad was practically brand new for 20 notes! my advice, dont fill yours up with sealant, i have had to do some major engine flushing to get rid of it all! and when i changed all my rockers a few weeks back i still found bits of it on the sides of the water channels!

just for future reference, a rad seal that actually works, hell it sorts cracked heads & blocks too...
www.kalimex.co.uk it's called K-Seal and IT WORKS! no bullshit
can get it from my local motorsave for £8 a bottle, pour & forget, or at least keeps you mobile until parts can be sourced/ finances allow

Beemerlad is not kidding in his endorsment of kseal.
I had a leak for ages that i could not find. Saw his post & risked 8 quid.
2 minutes and no more mystery water loss. Been 4 months now & have never topped it up. I am a cynacle bastard, but this stuff truly does work.
NB; To whoever makes this stuff, ( Brown envelope as usual lads )

Don't be tempted to buy radweld or any other shite if they don't have K-Seal. If it ain't there then order it from their website
