I'm running two cars with alum. rads. They are working great and were half the price of "regular" ones.....from Hong Kong...both have drain plugs

Are there any known problems associated with the aluminum radiators?

Is there any difference between the two core rad made for the AC equipped Japanese market cars and the Super Two Core rad sold by mini parts dealers shortly thereafter?
I am all for fixing actual problems, and I could probably find a lot of things on this nice sounding mini that could use some attention, but the cooling system sounds like it only needs a small amount of normal maintenance.
I don't know if they are different or not but i do know that the super 2 core works excellent in Florida driven Mini's.
Mur i am for fixing what you have on a Mini but when radiators of dubious age are falling apart i think the time has come to replace it.

You can take that rad to a rad shop and they can solder in a nice functional drain tap. Removing a sending unit to drain the water is about as sophisticated as removing the lower rad hose.
Don't mess things up and waste money under the impression that a new item is superior.
I have had no trouble keeping a very strong 1300 cool with the cooling system you have.
He has a broken radiator already he may as well replace it with a known good Super 2 core radiator which works the best in the Florida Summers with the a/c running, totally different to your Summers i imagine if you even use your a/c in Saskatchewan.
Gahngoo. The temp sender unit gasket and clip are Mini items and not universal afaik.

If you had some useful data, experienced folks could look at this thread and offer insight. Did the car come from Japan? Does it look like the original radiator? Those are good. If it was working before, take it to a rad shop and have it cleaned and have a drain fitted and put the whole affair back to work.
Buy a rad cap with a mechanical temperature gauge, or a laser pointer thermometer, and if you have a problem, then look for solutions.
