Re: Right Radiator for a 97 Firestorm

Thanks, Popkat. Still not feeling like I want to take the risk. Might just go for a used genuine one.

Right Radiator for a 97 Firestorm

Hi all,

Sorry for not posting for ages. I'm now getting around to fixing up my old 'Storm a bit!

Has anyone had any experience with the cheap new radiators from China (being sold via Holland)?

Many thanks!
