Brand new 2.0/2.3 auto radiator

Brand new geniune Ford 2.0/2.3 auto radiator on Ebay HERE for £100....
......I've just checked with local FMD & a new 2.0/2.3 auto rad from them is £338.51+VAT...so that's a total of £397.24 
For £100 (quarter of the Ford price), it's gotta be a bargain  ....So I've just bought one to replace my dribbling rad 
P.S....I know it says for a 2.0, but the 2.3 shares the same rad....I've double checked with Ford

Not much interest then ?  ....I suppose £100 is a little too much compared to buying a second hand rad from the breakers (£30-£50 ?).
I was tempted to get a second hand rad, but seeing as I use my Scorp as a taxi, I wanted something that was guaranteed to last for a while.
I'm not a great fan of used rads, as you just never know how long they will last or how efficient they will be. They could last a good while or could start leaking as soon as you drive down the road.....could even overheat the engine & blow the head gasket if some of the veins are blocked/furred up with limescale/rust etc.....it's a bit hit & miss really
Anyway, the new rad arrived yesterday (UPS) & I can confirm (if anyone has any doubts) that it is a genuine, brand spanking new Ford part 2.0/2.3 auto radiator. It's in a Ford box & has the Ford finis code sticker on the top end of the box....it really is the real deal
If anyone has a nice 2.0/2.3 auto with a leaky rad & they intend to keep the car for a while, then this is certainly a good deal....a quarter of the price of a new one from Ford & cheaper than a pattern rad.....& unlike a second hand one, guaranteed to last

JC.
I rang that man Graham, yesterday about the rads,and asked if he would sell me two on a debit card,he said they hadn't got the technology,don't blame him really.
However he promised to keep me a couple as I am going to Mintlyn Crematorium at Kings Lynn tomorrow.They are certainly no ill store at that money,even if I don't use em someone will appreciate them later I'm sure.
Thanks for putting the gen on here JC.
GOZZ.

Thought so.  Just fitted one I got from Tootman, but might get one for spare.
