Rad for 1998 2.5 petrol, Auto Elite saloon.
Having waited 3 weeks and now been let down by "markey mark" and his non-existent delivery service, a replacement rad is very very urgently required. I'm out of work and need the car to get to interveiws, just had to go to London by train.
Help please.

slightly unfair bud ! one was lost by post office and a courier let me down so have refunded your money in full  >:(

Yes thanks for the refund, however you are missing the point, I have turned down offers of rads from others (they have now gone) because I was waiting for yours to arrive (since the 14th April), you now take the easy way out by backing out of the deal, leaving me to start all over again.
You did give good service previously when I ordered a small item, it arrived in two days, so I am not slagging all you do.

Useless Royal Mail!

If you still have it Markey why not send it Parcelforce 48?? They find it harder if not nearly impossible to lose it that way...that said they have been getting progressively worse since xmas...

Thanks but 'TMX' may have sorted the problem.

I thought all auto petrol rads were the same?
(I may be wrong!!)

i have 2 rads sitting here,both auto's an both good,but am in scotland

Thanks for all the offers but collected the rad "tmx" offered thanks Tom, a round trip of 89 miles, lost 100ml of coolant.
Later on went out to the "garden centre" and the shops, total 7 miles and lost 250ml !!!!!! That will teach me.
It's all to do with temperture ie as the temp increases the crack opens  :-[ :-[  in the plastic side pod, well you know !!
Fit the rad tomorrow.
Once again many thanks to everyone.
