Title: Radiator issues
Post by: Galahad on 26 November 2011, 12:29:06

I'm confused.  Been looking on Ebay for a radiator for my Omega 53 plate 2.2 Auto, and some listings make a distinction between radiators for a Omega C and Omega B, and others claim that their radiator will fit Omega B and Omega C.

So can anyone confirm for me whether or not there are any Omega B radiators that will fit the Omega C 2.2 Auto with Aircon and oil cooler attached to the front of the rad, i'm happy to reposition the oil cooler if thats the only thing preventing me from fitting an Omega B rad.

Obviously if someone has a decent used one for sale and they are not a million miles away from Bath for a 2.2, then i'll just settle for that, but i'd like to have this confirmed as i'm keen to get this once donor car back on the road, shes too good to break up.

Surely the year code they've quoted means Omega C?  Or is the last of the Omegas not described as Omega C?

There is NO Omega "C". An Omega "C" is a "B"
