Good timing Hamish
I was about to post re my
similar experience with new radiator.
Having replaced both
heads,ALL hoses and water pump prior to a 16000k trip
around Aus, on return found gunk in the system.It
appeared to be from an previous attempt to seal leaks in
the old heads with Radweld. Bad decision.
Figuring that the radiator
was probably still full of the stuff I went to Tooleys
for a new one.
Like you I got a pathetic
anaemic looking object with a 35 mm core weighing
nothing for $340.
Not happy, I rang around
and found the correct 45mm aluminium Behr unit for $450
from my local radiator shop.(Wyong Radiators ex
Newcastle next day).
Since installing, the
AirCon works brilliantly spewing out 8 degrees of cold
air and the temp needle now sits to the left of centre
regardless of weather.
Additionaly the fan does
not immediately cut in with the air/con on.
Got $45 back from recyclers
for the old copper core.
Good luck Graham

Hamish,
Looks like they gave you one of
those 30mm width radiators which are
inadequate for a syncro. The
core needs to be about 45mm - 50mm thick
all the way through. Cheers,

radiator in my Syncro.
Upon opening box from Tooley Imports

My old one looked like a bar n plate
