My '88 had a water pump failure that blew up the cooling system. The stock radiator is copper something (green corrosion), and is leaking in more than one place and has some fins smashed up.
Long story short: I need a new radiator ASAP (today!).
The cheapy aluminum / plastic combos are about $105. The copper/brass 2-rows are about $210.
Can I get away with the cheaper one (not that I like them, but I'm into this '88 for like $3500 already).
Do the newer year XJ's come with the alum/plastic radiators? How do they hold up?
