Our supporting vendors will have new and used radiator options for you. At least two of those (928 International and 928srus) have extensive overseas shipping experience, so worth a call or email to explore those options.

Try http://www.928intl.com/contact.htm

and http://www.928srus.com/

For these US-based sources.

It's not going to be cheap at least with new since I believe Behr discontinued and now you can only source them from Porsche.

928 Int'l has used for about $500, with one year guarantee. I see used on ebay for $250-$350, no guarantee. The original may be fixable depending on condition.
Good luck,
Dave

So it was oil cooler failure which caused your breakdown?

Your best bet is to post on the 928uk mailing list to find local replacement options. There are a couple of aftermarket drop-in replacements available in the UK which will likely be much cheaper to ship. I linked to the 928uk list signup in your other thread about the breakdown.

I hope its all turning into manageable problems and you get your car running soon!

Here are some shared experiences with rads in the UK.

Last time I looked Design 911 still have an Adrad (Australian manufacturer) in stock.

Oh dear! Crazy, isn't it? Welcome to the future of 928 ownership!

When I was looking a few months back, Paul Anderson in Stroud had a couple of used rads for sensible prices. He's worth consulting.

Looks like I got the last reasonably priced Behr in the UK. I hope you're not going to need rear ABS sensors as Porsche UK told me I got the last of those too.

Parts are just now starting to get fun, for the 928 model. I went through this with the 356 models. For a period of time, getting parts was very difficult. Porsche and other went back and made a large percentage of the pieces for these vehicle, to the point where I think you could build one of these cars from a VIN number. Of course, a 356 has as many parts as a lawmower....

There are a couple of 928s on ebay. Worth a try.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Breaking-P...item3f307b666c

Also douglasvalley breakers have a few 928s. Beware though they have a bad rep for not checking parts but they do offer a 30 day refund I think. I have bought a part from them with no problem though.

just posted in the link on this thread. i have had 3 ally rads off radtec racing in the uk. the was 350 each i think, its been a while since i last ordered one. i have one in my old GTS racer, 1 as a spare and sold the other on to a customer. always thought the standard plastic end tanks crimped on look like trouble waiting to happen.
just googled the number- ask for keith, nice guys to deal with 01543502525
also had some nice aerospace intercoolers and gt3r rads for my cayman racer, very nice fabrication from these guys!

I am working on a solution as we speak. More details as I wrap things up.
