Water leak
-
My mums eunos 1.6 has a water leak, have been to our mechanic and he thinks might need a new radiator, wheres the best(cheapest) place to get one. They seem to be a little on the expensive side, may have to use scrap yard.
-
Brand new radiators for Mazdas are quite dear yes.
have you tryed a motor factor for prices?
might be cheaper, just non OE?
-
so far quoted £170 from europarts! will keep looking. Its going in the garage monday to check it is the Rad first. We bought the car for £450 so don't mind too much
-
i had one made from scratch for £100 just before christmas. Was a little workshop somewhere near clitheroe NW. probably doesn't help you though.

rads can be fixed with chemical metal depending were the leak
is and then pressure tested afterwards just to make sure.
breakers will be cheapest i would of think and your almost
bound to get a genuine OE part.@JIMBOfred
you know the name of that place, was that any size for 100 quid?
-
heya Daz, I think motor factors are about £100 as well for a brand spankers
used, i would try mx3's breaking on ebay
Daryl the site owner currently has one for sale here
Only difference is if you have Aircon then you would have to remove the fan on that one and replace it with both fans from the old one as they have different wiring to cater for the 2
Radiator change is reasonably easy, you need pliers and a socket set and some water and antifreeze
any problems just ask, we can show you how to do it yourself here to save a few ££££

its was called rishton auto radiators. I took mine in to be referbed but it had completely exploded so they built it from scratch. Have you thought about a referb?
-
Thanks ,nah my rads fine mate, im thinkng custom size rad. for my turbo intall :)
-
Are the 1.6 rads the same as the v6 one's.
I've got one for a v6, £50 inc fans but you will have to pick it up.
-
this Mx3 is an import so not sure if the rad would be the same. Im guessing the 1.6 and V6 rads are different?

The eunos and uk are the same rads, think 1.6 and 1.8 are different but they wont be much different if there is any
