The old Granada radiator is the same as the 12v one I seem to recall. have a look on the main site where there is an article on changing the radiator on my 12v some years back.

I think this will be the article Dave is referring to- https://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/radiator.htm We replaced the radiator on our 2.3 last year. A reasonably hassle free job. There's a guy on eBay with Radiators for them (not sure if it'll fit a 12v). The listing always says 'Last one', until it sells, and then it's back up the next day with an extra £40 or so added on. Now up to £425!!! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/362958715720

Roy, the one you posted doesn't appear to be for an auto which I assume yours is. I had one that had been on my '91 2.9 Granada & switched to my 2.3 Scorpio when I scrapped the Granada. Can't remember now what it was supposed to fit - think it was probably a Granada one as I had to open the holes in the lower plastic lugs to take different size mounting rubbers. Either way a late Granada one can probably be adapted, earlier ones look to be a different shape. Does the 12v have a temp sensor in the rad? If it does you'll need one with a hole for that or fit a hose with a sensor adaptor. This one from Germany might do, but I've not checked the part numbers: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165394444981 Dave

Thanks everybody for your help with this. I do have a cosworth rad that needs a core but would prefer a new rad if possible. Looks like the one Tompion suggests may well do the job (local spanner done his time in auto fabrication so can make most things work OK- has done both of my cos estates to granada water pumps so I trust him) Veering towards the german one, don't really want to encourage a price jacker on ebay - not the way I trade or like to deal .... and I have a choice now.

Bought the one Tompion suggested, even allowing for Xmas took ages to get here, and they didn't get me to pay german VAT so I got stuffed by parcelfarce on customs and all the other bits they can stick on top, even pais vat on the vat!!!! If you buy from germany get them to charge you their VAT at source, clears through no problem then and try to avoid DHL it maybe the german equivalent of Royal mail but it's crap. Will see if it all fits later, and update.............

Job sorted now, that rad was shorter than the original, so new brackets made to get all to line up. Not really concerned as it was for a 2.9 cologne engine so all's well that ends well, but as the german didn't charge vat I have to pay rip off UK vat and customs, so if you buy from them insist you pay german VAT at source. Product was new and very well packed in a substantial double wall corrugated box so travelled well also. Just updating in case any one needs a rad for a 12v.
