V12 radiators
Are the radiators for the SII xj 12 and the xjs V12 the same? I would like to replace the radiator in my sedan but I am have a hard time finding a listing on line. Thanks

Don't know, but you can get your existing radiator re-cored if you can find a shop to do it. These radiators are copper material so it is simple to remove the core and re-solder the new core into the old copper ends.

S2 V12 and PreHE XJ-S V12 are the same radiator. PreHE XJS ended in 1982ish.
I seriously doubt there are any suppliers of them now.
The listing you are seeing would be for the HE series, and although they will fit, the fan on the HE is plastic (draws more air) and the PreHE and S2 is steel (draws less air).
It will work, I have done it on my cars many times.
Recoring your original, as Fraser said, is the best way.

go to v12s - Jaguar XJ6 ?Twin Electric Cooling Fans in Aluminum Shroud and ask Wolfgang to send you his paper on Cooling.
go to Porsche, Ferrari, Mercedes A/C Kits | RetroAir Inc. and ask Rock if he can supply a better Radiator.
