    Radiators

Radiators

Does your vehicle suffer overheating or cooling problems, a leaking coolant system or is it generally looking the worse for wear?

Here at Primrose Classic Cars we provide a comprehensive, professional service from a simple re-paint to a full re-build and re-core including re-chroming and re-manufacturing of enamel badges.

Our main area of expertise is is vintage and classic car coolant systems but we also work on vehicle radiators from heavy plant, generators, tractors, forklift trucks as well as HGVs.

ABOUT US

We pride ourselves on the fact that we do not upgrade from the original specifications on your vehicle and we try to bring it back, as near as possible, to its original factory condition.

We do not weld patches of sheet metal over rust areas just to satisfy the MOT inspection, as this will only allow water/moisture ingress which will create bigger problems at a later stage. We cut out the affected area and replace with new panels.

    HOW TO AVOID ENGINE FAILURE

    The Morris Minor/Austin Healey Sprite ‘A’ series engine has legendary reliability and returns a high level of mechanical efficiency to their owners. If an engine has been standing for some time, is badly maintained, using excessive oil or is extremely noisy it may need a rebuild. The engine, however, will give you ample warning before it gives up the ghost! One of the main causes of engine failure can be the electrical components. Regular servicing is essential to help prolong the life of your engine.

    We can overhaul the early side valve engine to original specification as well as the 803cc early series ‘A’ and the later 948cc, 1098cc and 1275cc series ‘A’.

    We offer full servicing of braking systems by replacing pipes, cylinders and shoe pads. We replace steering & suspension components as required and also rebuild gearboxes and differentials.

We carry out part or full re-trims including carpets, sound proofing, weather seals, head linings and new hoods on convertibles.


Seat re-upholstering - the webbing straps are often a cause for concern, we replace them with new straps or a rubber diaphragm system instead. We also replace the foam cushioning for the back and base and can cosmetically recondition your leather or vinyl seating, subject to condition. All of these repairs can dramatically transform your car’s appearance.
