Popped Radiator

[Chri5v8]

Good afternoon all.
More problems with this car
It seems I have a popped radiator.
Is there any recommendations for a replacement??

The only one I’ve ever seen referred to was made by Behr.

OEM are silly money - £850 - and that’s just ridiculous.

[Chri5v8]

Yeah I’m not paying £850.
I can get one for around £125 but dunno if any good?

I paid a little under £200 when my e70 one had a pinhole, it was a Behr one I got

Is the radiator from the 4.4 the same as in the 4.6??

Have a look at Realoem. Use the last 7 of your VIN in the serial number box as that pulls up your model. If you go down into the radiator section and select the radiator itself and then drill further down it will tell you what cars that rad is used on.

If I’ve done this correctly is that the part number??

[X5Sport]

Part #1 is the radiator. If you click on it then it will take you to the next page that shows you what car it’s used in. It will also tell you if the part has been superseded and what the later number is.

Looks like a common to all models part.

Had mine done along with a water pump a few weeks ago £700. The radiator they installed was a Nielsens I think.
