Default Radiators ... Ebay ones any good ?

Hey Everyone .

Having bought many genuine parts for the AU series 1 Fairmont Ghia on ebay , im looking to fit a new radiator ...

But there are so many on Ebay i have no real idea which one to purchase ?

If anyone has fitted an Ebay job and had no issues , lease let me know which ones to help narrow it down somewhat .

Its a 4.0L 6 cylinder Auto .

Cheers , Daniel .
