JBWELD is not a bad product. It’s the fully cured and drying time (even the JB quick) that most people don’t want to wait for. Gotta give it 24 hours in my experience.

I used the JB Weld product on an oil pan my sister-in-law ran smooth over a concrete parking
stop and it held during my ownership of the vehicle. As Addicted pointed out, it's the curing time
that is not attractive.

Nissens is a global company headquartered in Denmark. I have used a lot of their radiators and A/C condensers with no problems that I can recall. When OEM Behr (now Mahle Behr or Mahle Clevite) radiators are not available for Jags, BMWs Mercedes, etc., Nissens is one of the brands I look for. But unfortunately they are not currently offering a radiator for any of the X308s, as far as I can tell.

Cheers,

Default Ebay Jaguar Radiators

Just be cause the "eBay Fit Guide" says it will fit an S2, or whatever XJ6, does not mean it's a direct fit. In my case the mounting pins were not the same and there was an extra 3/4 " fitting in the lower outlet that had to be capped. Then after installing it, it leaks out the front from one row driver's center left. Not expensive ($130 US) but ! Vendor is of course saying it must be returned on original packaging, etc,etc which I tossed right after installation. The old Copper/Brass 50 lb radiator didn't leak but all the copper ribbons between the rows were corroded and missing in the lower section. May just reinstall it. The new ones are all Aluminum & very flimsy !

Thus, wherever you are: Check google and ebay first for a new radiator. I bought recently one very cheap (new) on ebay for a Ford Fairlane NL.
