    XSV348 or Angelis should be along soon with specifics but the official new source is www.ferrariparts.co.uk - there used to be a really good radiator repair shop near Heathrow - sorry don't know the name - also Serck Marston in Manchester

    why why oh why am i so predictable, and feel the need to respond here???
    ok great parts sourcing with diags are all on the eurospares site. they sell new and second hand when they have them. http://www.eurospares.co.uk/partsListing.asp?M=1&Mo=433&A=1&B=23656&S=&ID4=1021375 see here for new part numbers and ferrari prices etc.

    these rads are usually repairable, as has been said. but ifd not possible, if its a left hand one i had a new one of those in my old 348 being broken at douglas valley spares, only a year old so may be worth it, although dv can be expensive.
    or
    I do have the left hand one that was replaced by that new one and could get it recored for you if you want.

    if right hand cant help!

    Did the radiator crack in normal usage, or did someone put a jack under it? It's happened...

    Around 2/3 weeks but I was in no hurry for it back, also it was more than just a basic check and refurb.Mine needed the mounting for the temp sensor rebuilding as well as the 2 outlets replacing(1 was stripped).Was really pleased with the finished result, they kept the original cast tanks with the Ferrari logo's and the RH rad mtg, carried out all repairs and plastic coated it for £150.

    Now that's what I'm talking about!!! Nice price.

    Out of curiosity, what other car/s uses the same radiator parts? Then us Yanks can just tell the radiator shop over hear what to use.

    I know your not asking me, but thought I would but in. Mine went when I was hit on track at Silverstone. Couldn't understand for a while why damage was at front bumper and water at rear. Some glass from the broken front fog light went down the air duct and into the radiator. a real double wammy!
