Go with the warranty and free postage if you're going to buy one of those. The cheaper one will cost as much if not more once postage is added.

Id pay extra and get a good Copper core one. But other than that, I dont see a problem with a cheap one.

I'm with Monty, I'd pay the extra and go the copper core.
Otherwise, rule of thumb (for me); "when in doubt, ALWAYS go with the longest warranty you can get!" Bushbasher

Well they sound the same as they did before so I'm going to assume they're working. How do u test them at the risk of sounding dumb.

Yes I bought the cheap ones too and they were great until they died soon after. Invest in a good radiator so you dont regret it later..Get a ford one.

My radiator started to leak last week, it was the original factory ali radiator single row, I replaced it with a copper core 2 row job for $300. The ali single row was fine and never had heating problems I must say but now I have got something betterer.

I too went the whole hog and got a copper core radiator fitted. My mechanic told me they are the shizz for longevity and I should have worry a free radiator for years to come.
