Your son had no problems, I have no problems, that leaves you as the odd one out. My 3L runs fine with a radiator that is 40-50% lighter/thinner. It also ran fine with 40-50% of the coolant missing. Your overheating is most likely to do with your messing up. Through carelessness, you probably...

That tells me you have something else that isn't working. My car ran fine with 4 litres of coolant leaked out on the road after collision. Although it was cold weather at the time. I don't need better cooling. I need thicker materials to play bumper cars. Nissens would work out better for me...

Well, it will be forgotten.

Mahle-Behr is all over ebay. For the E46, there is the cheaper standard one and a premium-line one. I am guessing the materials are thicker on the premium and more able to resist bumps. Since it isn't OEM, a Nissen one might be no worse. Nissen has a single model, presumably matching the...

Surprisingly, Modine is an american company. This would suggest chinese branded radiators would be closer to OEM than german Mahle-Behr. Generally, the chinese stuff are largely american tech.

I don't. But I know they don't pay you if they don't want to.

A lighter part increases vehicle performance, though. Also it isn't up to you to decide what is and isn't a mod. The insurer will.

DNJ never claimed to be expert, was just reading T&C.

Since when was a notification required for a pattern part? I don't remember any internet experts mentioning it.

Anyone seen how a radiator is structured? Not me. My OE unit was taken out by a crash-for-casher. It leaked between one of the radiator's plastic tanks and the aluminum part. The radiator is quite simple. It comprises of horizontal channels, and then a tank at either end. The tank is clamped...

Equally possible there are no poor people around who need to steal. People just politely walk up and ask if selling.

No need to learn something that doesn't happen where I am. Even if it I happens, I don't see the point of worrying over a £500 write off. The road tax will be more than that soon.

I made no such claim. I know next to nothing about electronics and don't really want to know because I simply have no more space in my head for them. But I do know about device functions, i.e. what stuff are capable of or could be made capable of. Hence, I am able to tell you: if car...

Where did I profess to know so much. Anything I say, I know. I said nothing about canbus. Therefore I know nothing about it.

Have you brought one to know it's not a scam? Also, was it payment by cash? Otherwise, how would the seller get away with it?
