Re: Aussie cooling mods

All,<br>
<br>
Really appreciate your thoughts on this. Based on what has been said - especially your latest Alun - I'm thinking the best bet would be to bite the bullet and get the rad re-cored with something as effective as possible. It's a shame since the rad is quite new but if it doesn't work ...
