Fitting a new radiator

Hello all, I've just bought a 1997 Hijet EFI MPV (1000cc) to take on a rally around Ireland in October.

The only major problem (other than not having any back seats) is the radiator has a hole in it. Now I don't think I've got the skills to fix it, but I reckon I can replace it, so I was thinking of buying a new radiator. The quotes I've had from Daihatsu dealers are all £300+ however I've seen a radiator on BuyPartsBy for approx. £100 but I see it's manufactured by a third party, Nissens.

So my question is, does anyone here have experience of BuyPartsBy, or Nissens parts, and is this a sensible option?

Hope you can help.

Cheers,
David

no experience with them. but i guess so long as the brackets and hoses line up.. should be ok
also look in to getting the hijet rad refurbished... as leat you know its a straight swap.

I looked in to a re core on my rad and it was £90 to me and I get trade discount I did find one on ebay for £40 and a drive to bristol from essex but was still cheaper than a re core Then I found it developed a small hole on the back and I soldered it up with plumbers solder and its all good now, but see if you can see whats wrong as a repair can be loads cheaper if thats all it needs.
