x305 Radiator
Hi
The radiator in my X305 has a split in one of the plastic header tanks. I purchased the car knowing this.
Jaguar are not currently producing this rad. The part number is MNA4190FA. Could anyone Please avise is there a company located in the UK, where I could get the rad repaired or a new one made. Was this type of rad fitted to any other model of car or is it just generic to Jaguar.
Thank you for any help you may give

There is an aluminum end tank "upgrade" radiator for our cars being sold on eBay.
I have no experience with it and can't recommend it, and it's expensive ($795USD)...but it does seem to address the real problem with the stocker, which is the plastic end tanks.
I hate pointing people towards eBay as these are usually Chinese made parts and hit or miss, but the location for these seems to be here in Texas. No idea if it was actually made here, but I know we do have a couple of good intercooler companies spread around the state.

X305 Radiator
Hi
I am replying to the last two repies I have received with regard to my original question.
The aluminium radiator as advised that it is advertised on Ebay, is for an XJS! Not a X305. The XJS rad is a different design, I know I have one & it will not fit.
The Limora site that was sent does not show stock?
It appears that the only way to obtain an original item is to purchase from the USA. I was allready aware of this.
However I will have one made. In the UK as they to be as rare as RHS
Thank you for your advise

Bummer, I did not notice that, and don't know how I got there. Will pay more attention. Shame as I eventually planned to upgrade to an aluminum radiator if I keep the car.
On the Miatas these plastic end tanks degrade over time and eventually crack. PWR in Australia made a great replacement, but of course there were no transmission and power steering fluid lines to contend with. The only course may be external coolers for those, and a generic aluminum radiator of proper size, which will be hard to source.
