If you're in need, jump on this. A lot of 300s are at the age where their radiators are going, and this is a generous chunk cheaper than my 360 one was...and that was from a very cheap place (albeit a genuine Volvo one)!

Good luck Dai!

cheers

Bought one at the start of the year for £80! Bugger!

Have i been dreaming or are the rads from the later 1.4's the same as the 1.7's? I am 99% sure they are the same!!! In which case you might want to mention that!!

VADIS says yes up to a point, but the later part numbers are different...?! I think they're probably the same.

360 ones are dual-core, but without the tapping for a temp sender, for anyone seeking an upgrade.

cheers

1.7 radiator is usable for ALL types

at some point; 1.4 got a thinner radiator, that's when the part numbers started to differ.

if you have a thin 1.4 radiator, don't try to use it on a 1.7.

You can put the thicker Rad in a 1.4 though cuz i have done it!! But make sure you get the rubber mounts else it wont fit!!!

thicker rad = 1.7 rad = usable for all types.

2L rads can also be used for 1.7 and 1.4, only they don't have the threaded bolt on them for the thermo switch (driving the fan)

Oh it's the early type!

Shame it's in UK... I need a new one for my '84 340...
