MX5Ireland

Anyone know the difference between two radiators available on MX5Parts. (1.6 manual '93) One is an original Mazda part the other is an aftermarket one. Is the Mazda one worth double the price?

I fitted one of the genuine mazda radiators last month and it solved the overheating issues i was having. If it was worth the extra money versus the after market one i dont know but it did come with new genuine radiator cap also was a direct swap for the old one 30 mins and the job was done.

Installed the new radiator and the overheating problem went away. Fairplay to you for doing the job in 30min's, it took me over 2 hours. The aftermarket radiator is working out well so far and the reviews on it are positive but It comes without a new radiator cap.
