Tewkesbury Car E320 avantgared The reason I asked this question is that I have (acording to the crimping) a BHER rad. but it has a small label on the top of the rad saying FRANCE. This is a label you can see at the centre of the rad. Under the rubber seal. Make any sense ?

I recently replaced it after 175,000 miles and 15 years. The replacement was obtained from Hella/Behr Banbury via a motor factor and was cheaper than from Merc dealer for this quite expensive item. The new Rad is identical. It was made in South Africa, where there is also a mercedes factory.
