Both minis. Late 70s leylands running scary hot ( I can smell it, it's pinging hard, power goes way down, factory temp gauge pinned to the top). Both have heater pipes off the rad. Where in Bris to get a quality re-core without breaking the bank? PS seriously tempted by those $100 eBay alloy rads, though need new hoses for the heater take off. Any advice much appreciated. :)
