Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Hi all,

I'm struggling to get a replacement radiator (3rd party) for my Patrol and I'm trying to avoid having to have one built from scratch (since the costs get a bit insane then). It's a GU/Y61 TD42 and I was wondering if anyone here has gone through the mission of replacing their radiator recently and what did it cost? I'd appreciate any help with this...

Hello Srxy.(howzit)
A new one are R11000 or something stupid.
Visit CHE in Paarl.They understand a thin core radiator for a troll.

Hi SRXy,

Did you get a solution on your radiator problem yet. I got mine back from a good cleanup and service and I am quite happy with the service. But it might be a problem for you because they are in Joburg. But still believe it will worth a try.

Talk to Steve at Thermo Radiators - (011) 826 5022. They clean, recore and build radiators.

Regards.

Hi...thanks. My core was giving notice so a cleaning wouldn't have helped. I ended up getting a Brass tank and copper body 45mm unit customed made by Magnum radiators (in Stikland, Cape Town) for R3900. It's a beast of a thing and required a small amount of under bonnet modifying to fit. It's working 100%....and nice to have something that I can actually have fixed by any bush mechanic if the need arises.

That's good news, glad you found a solution. Did you replaced hoses as well? If so, where did you find them?

Regards

Hi...I didn't replace the hoses as they are still fine.
