Beating an overheated horse

[Frobisher]

I think OP's Disco is long gone.

As one last kick on the dead horse, a new decent aluminum radiator is way better than a 25 year old copper one. The cost of restoring a copper unit isn't cheap either.

Not to jinx myself, but I have swapped a myriad of aluminum radiators in Rovers with consistent results. I've also seen a couple doughy pot aluminum ones for Jeeps. Some Chinese make impressive (for the cost) units, others you wonder why they even put it on a boat.

Yes, it’s gone to Death Rowver on my buddy’s property where it’s freely offering up its vitals to my replacement ’97. Parts are still available if you need something from a ‘95. I won’t using everything.

The follow-ups here have been enlightening, so I’m happy to see it going.
