Nissan Pulsar 1990: Best replacement radiator?

THE radiator in my 1990 Nissan Pulsar N13 is leaking. New radiators cost $200 and are warranted for only two years, and I'm told copper ones might overheat and be subject to electrolysis. Can you suggest anything?

THE factory radiator is the way to go. They can be had for about $180, which is cheap, and they're the best. Nissan service specialist Jerry Newman says electrolysis is usually caused by a stray electric current, probably as a result of a bad earth somewhere in the car. But he says it rarely occurs if you use the correct coolant at the correct level.
