Are Nissens tried & tested then? I've never heard of them.
Did look for a Valeo but not so commonly available and reassuringly expensive.

I'm not sure that I follow the logic that dearer is better ... it's a radiator. As long as it passed the pressure test what's not to like? That's akin to saying that a Nike top is better than a Fruit of the Loom. It's not - you are just paying for the label snobbery. As long as a new part has a decent warranty, I don't overly worry about where it figures on the cheap/dear scale.

Couldn't comment, don't own any Nike or Fruit of the loom. Spent all my money on overpriced car parts.
