Does yours have the thermoswitches in the right hand end tank Tony? Also does it have the ATF coolers/heat exchangers in the end tanks?
Cheers,

Hi Dave no the thermostat switch is in the V of the engine on a kv6 next to the sealed thermostat, also the kv6 auto is not like the honda auto, the honda auto rad has the gearbox oil cooler built in to the rad, also the honda auto with aircon has the thermostat switches X2 fitted in to the rad non aircon has one, where as the kv6 auto has separate oil cooler mounted on the gearbox behind the radiator, so in other words apart from the hole's at the top and bottom of the rad for the fitting of the fans, all you have is the top hose fitting and bottom hose fitting that's it. cheers Tony

In that case it's as i thought Tony - a manual rad from a late 820/825 will do the job for you seeing as there is a separate ATF cooler and no thermoswitches in the rad.

I might have one but i'll need to check over the weekend.
Cheers,
Dave

Hi Dave thankyou fingers crossed them, not wanting to take the preverbial what sort of ready's are you looking for and can you post adding the cost to what you want for the rad, as I don't have alot of money as I live on disability, I did ask Theresa may for a pay rise but she hasn't got back to me yet LOL, so yeah have a nice weekend Dave take care.

Sorry Tony, it turns out i've already sold it some time back, the other one i might be able to lay my hands on wouldn't be suitable as it has the holes for the thermo switches in the right hand end tank.

Are you sure it is the radiator that's leaking and not a hose that's perished in the end or something silly? There's a few rads on ebay for 825s but they're all diesel ones and the hoses fit in different places so again, not suitable for yours.
Cheers,
Dave

Hi Dave not to worry but thanks for looking, i thought it was the pipe but looking at the rad it's seen better days it looks really old it's quite rusty at the bottom, i will have to keep an eye out for a used one or save up for a new one. Regards Tony

The other alternative would be a radiator repair service near you. They may well be able to recore your existing rad cheaper than new/reconditioned or even just repair it.

I have never yet come across a radiator repairer who can recore for less than the cost of a new one.

Small soldered repairs no problem, but recores? No chance!

If you have other 800s, can you not steal the rad off one of those until you can afford to replace it with a new one?

I may have the one from my old KV6 stashed in the garage.... can't guarantee it remains leak free after 8 years storage although it was OK when put away.
FOC if of interest, but I will have to check I still have it (LE16)
Rock On!

A generous offer Ian and a twinge of irony - i think Tony needs the radiator for a trip to Leicester and unless i'm mistaken, LE16 is a Leicester postcode?
