Hi Minatic

I have only this past weekend again came across a situation where a radiator of a client's car was sent into a reputable radiator place to have it flushed and fixed.  Only to find the car kept on overheating, upon further inspection I found the tubes of the radiator to be blocked.  After agreeing on the fitment of a new radiator, the problem was solved.

Good luck with the rest of the fixing.

Hi GTSPhil,

Thanks so much for you advice. You are not the first person that has mentioned this. I had a similar incident where one of the tubes on the core actually tore open after it had been sent in for repair. Took it back and they would not fix it at their cost even though it was still in warantee. They wanted me to buy a new one at a crazy price. I paid for the first repair R695 at Silverton Radiators and when I took it to another Radiator shop it cost me R350 for what you can say brand new radiator. They replaced the core with a brand new one just use my tanks. We are talking about a good 12 years now and that radiator is still 100% in my Clubman.

Because of the service I got from Silverton Radiators I will never use them again. I will have to see who I can use now.
