Can anyone 'lend' me a Ruby radiator?
#1
Does anyone have a Ruby radiator (17" tall) that I could 'borrow' for a couple of months whilst I get my own one re-cored. They are quoting two months turnaround to recore and as we are coming out of lockdown I was hoping to use the car which I have only just bought. The radiator core is completely fouled up in spite of many attempts to descale and a rebuild seems to be the last remaining option. I have already cleaned out the block and fitted a new side water branch which as you can see from the photo was pretty clogged! Payment in beer!

Beer! I wish I had a Ruby rad knocking about!

I’m sure someone can help out to keep you on the road.

Your best bet might be to buy a cheap secondhand / scrap rad and get that rebuilt, then swap them - there's one on eBay at £20 as I write.

Re-coring a Ruby radiator with a modern core shouldn't cost more than £150 or so. I think the last one I had done in 2015 (to my Ulster, not a Ruby) cost around £120.

I had a dead spare Ruby rad re-cored at Swalecool, Sittingbourne Kent, last year, not an original core £120 cash only.
Although located on a modern industrial estate entering the works was like walking into a time warp back a hundred years.
But the guy did a good job.
