Or does anyone know what heater boxes are the same as a mk2 escort so I can just swap the lot. Are Capri's the same?

What component in your heater box assembly actually needs replacing?

The matrix itself, its leaking. I will upload some pictures now (if I can)

What about trying to get your matrix repaired.

Yes mate the core looks shot, but I'm sure you could get someone in your area to replace the core using your old headers. There's 1 or 2 in notts that rebuild old rads. I'm sure a Google search in your area would find someone. Good luck

A dedicated auto rad repairer would, im sure be able to do something with it.
Another thought might be an industrial heating /air con specialist. They'd be able to point you in the right direction.
A final thought is to use a computer cooling radiator. They are that sort of size and have threaded ports so you could make your pipework up to suit

Just been to our local radiator repairer they quoted me £130 for a new core!!!!! I can buy a jumper and a coat for that so who needs heaters???

130 does not seems that much in my opinion

Good evening. I realise that this is an old post, however it’s the only one I can find relating to this size of matrix. Did you ever find a supplier, or did you have the old one redone ? I am in the exact same predicament now. I have remade the entire heater box as it was rusted through and now need a matrix. Any advice you can offer would be appreciated. Cheers, Stuart
