Well.... after reading the Big T's post a little while back regarding the danger of the fan shroud rubbing through the aluminium radiator cores on GU's and thinking to myself "better check that out", it happened. Green blood on the driveway. Bugger.

Upon removal and inspection, it turns out there's a pinhole in the ali radiator. Missus takes it to Natrad and the quote is.......$1,400!!!!! "you can't fix / weld an ali core radiator. Top tank is stuffed too." Strewth!!!

My questions to the brains trust are, can an aluminum radiator core be properly repaired? If so, does anyone know who does this in Perth?

Also, does anyone know of a good aftermarket replacement radiator for a 1999 4.5l petrol (TB45E) Nissan GU Patrol? I would prefer a traditional brass job for the obvious reasons. (BTW I'm aware of the PWR ones, they are about $1,100 from memory - must be something cheaper out there!)

Thanks in advance.
