Uprated Radiator for a 1999 XJ8 3.2

[Paul - Essex]

I'm looking to replace my leaking radiator and would like recommendations to get an uprated aluminium replacement to improve the heating/cooling.

At the moment i can't get a Jaguar replacement due to the JLR hack, so any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Cheers Paul

Try looking for a Nissens brand on ebay for your car Paul - they manufacture most of the aftermarket (and many OEM) radiators.

They may not have an uprated version but that's not necessarily a bad thing! If you have an excessively large volume of cold coolant in the rad when the 'stat opens, this can cause other, very expensive, problems.

You could also look at SNG Barrett's website as they hold large stocks of parts for these cars.

Have a look on eBay for part number MNC1490AH. Aftermarket being a lot cheaper than the originals.
