I see RSP now have the correct heater core with the 2 different size pipes. Which is like what I fitted. It worked and dosnt leak. But would have been good to have this one available at the time.

I will assume that's an outright price, not changeover. If so, that's not bad compared with getting one fixed.

I installed one of those a few years ago in my LH. What a pain in the ass job that was.

Try the same job in a JB Camira or 1980 Bluebird. I did both back in the day when they were new.

The worst one I ever did Vick, was an early Mondeo. Everything was urethane glued in, including the entire dash frame.

 

It took the best part of 2 1/2 days, & then the new core failed 8 months later under warranty. What a horror !!

 

Those things make Camiras, Bluebirds & Sigmas seem like a picnic by comparison.
