Hi,
Can anyone recommend a radiator service god in the York area or wider Yorkshire region?

Although a little out of date now, I had my Series 2 radiator re-cored (& fitted with a larger transmission oil cooler) about 10 years ago by Autocool radiators Ltd of Scarborough (autocoolradiators.co.uk). The rad has worked well ever since (fingers crossed!). The company operates a convenient collection and delivery service across Yorkshire, so it would be worth contacting them to discuss your requirements. Mike.

Thanks Mike.

I will stop asking as many questions now the Christmas holiday is upon us.

All the best.

Thanks Mike

I made contact with Autocool and Neil was very helpful. Old school engineer, old school service, big thumbs up!

Coincidentally, there was an almost identical rad in his workshop, from a Double Six that he had been asked to do on behalf of the Bangers and Cash team... so I will look forward to seeing that episode.

I'm pleased that the business is still around and giving good service. It'll be interesting to see one of our cars being restored by the Bangers and Cash team. Mike.
