Please, read the post below from Steve Ringlee of 700/900 FAQ fame, he knows! When I asked Nick at www.fcpgroton.com whether I should buy from him an aluminum and plastic Volvo (Blackstone?) radiator for $250 or an also aluminum and plastic Nissens radiator for $150, he recommended Nissens. Still, the Volvo aluminum radiator will work better and last longer than a brass one if you know what you are doing. Consult with Nick, he consistently gives me the best service and lowest prices. Be sure to read 700/900 FAQ, particularly regarding 960, S90 and V90 cars cooling. I think most if not all of us at Brickboard who have had these cars for a while will tell it is about time to overhaul the cooling system on your car with new Volvo or OEM parts, perhaps even down to hose clamps. If you want aftermarket, you can try Breeze stainless steel clamps for silicone hoses. On this car, particularly regarding that engine, you want to be safe rather than sorry.
