Default Volvo 740 Radiator Leak

My '91 Volvo 740 Turbo has a radiator leak, what site will sell me a new radiator that'll fit without any mods?

I need a skidplate too, again one that'll fit. FC Euros doesnt look like it'll fit perfectly.

Any radiator shop should be able to get you a direct replacement . Most of the newer ones are aluminum with plastic side tanks and are a direct fit.

I'll probably be ordering one from FCEuro, free shipping and lifetime warranty!

If you want to fix it temporary, put some cinnamon in the radiator. Smells line christmas bit works fine! Done it many times. If you want a bryter substanser there's bar leak. A can in which you put the substance IN the radiator. GM uses that on their services. Can also fix engine problems. A bit costy but works fine.

I'll look into that, its not a major leak (the only needs to be refilled once a year), tis a small crack underneath.

The FC Plate went on fine but its a bit too shallow for the side bolts to line up, and it arrived with a small crack but, it does get a lifetime warranty!
