Hi Gary

I'm pretty sure a 1982 rad will not fit your car but I may be corrected. Your best bet would be to remove the radiator and have it re-cored by a radiator specialist

At least then you know it will last as well?
Never know how long a used one will last and new ones are big money!

Welcome to the forums. I'm sure one of our 928 experts will be along shortly...

Hah! They all were, but on a different thread :roll: Merged it!

Hi :)

Not positive but i think any s or s2 rad will fit as long as both are manual or auto..i.e a manual rad will NOT fit an auto and auto will NOT fit a manual....

Most local radiator people like Serck will recore yours I would imagine.

All the best Brett :)

That would be my thought as well. Most towns have a small radiator shop who do this sort of thing.
