Post help with identifying the donor
My coupe's rad seems to have distorted and started to leak from a joint. It is a nice fit so I'd like to find a replacement. Trouble is the rad was in the car when I got it years ago and sadly don't have any info on what car the rad originally came from. It has "ORDONEZ" impressed into the the plastic but no other identifier so all I know it was made by the Spanish parts company Radiadores Ordonez. As I have had the car since the end of 1987 I guess it came from a car circa mid 1980's?. A pic of the rad is below, size wise its approx. 630mmx280mm overall.

If anyone has any ideas please let me know. I've sourced a metro rad so if all else fails I'll make up all new mounting brackets and plumbing and fit that - not what I'd got planned but hay ho.

Thanks Huw

Cheers, from quick look at a couple of web sites for MK1 Fiesta rads they do look very similar. I'll compare the measurements the web sites give with mine tomorrow. Never thought it might be from a fiesta.

Thanks for the pointer.
