    Think my radiator sprung a leak can't see wer from temp staying ok no high rise and water seems ok anybody going to meet can help see Brian and tim not going not sure if to travel or not
     
  2. If you need to move it - Top up the water & drive with the heater on.
    If the heater goes cold, or you see the temp guage rise higher then normal, stop straight away and turn the engine off.
    Then refill with water before setting off again.

    I had to change my radiator a few months ago. Bought a new one off Ebay, £57 delivered. It leaked from the start. Where the alloy part joins the plastic part it was just crimped and the pressure of my rad cap 1.3 bar just blew the crimping apart. Just trying to say that if you need a new rad, remember , buy cheap, pay twice. I ended up buying a Japspeed all alloy rad, which I can recommend. Steve.
