Radiator troubles



I was returning from the airport the other night when the temp. gauge on my
'89 200Q started to rise rapidly; then the warning symbol came on. I pulled
into the next gas station I passed and threw open the hood. I quickly found
out that the ends of my radiator were plastic and that the upper hose outlet
had broken off. Does anyone know of a source for all metal radiators? If not I
guess it would be OK to replace it with a similar one as it lasted nine years.

Another problem I have been having is that until my engine gets warmed up
(approx. 10 miles or 10 minutes) the engine idles rough and around 400 r.p.m.
Once it warms up it seems to be fine. Any ideas?

Last of all does anyone have a passengers side headlight in good condition
they would sell and does anyone have a bad bomb I could use for experimenting?
Please e-mail me on these two items privately at clarall@aol.com to avoid
wasting bandwidth.

Thanks
