Is it as easy as it looks? Are there any things to watch out for? (Apart from getting wet feet of course...)

Mine's a MY94, and it looks like it's just two bolts & plenty of room...just wondering if there was more to it - thanks guys.

Don't forget to unplug the fan(s)!!

robs,

I have a MY94 as well & had to change the radiator there about two months ago because it got a hairline fracture on the plastic side which was getting bigger.

There were no problems I didnt get over - straight forward enough. Only issue was that the two metal holders on top - the nuts were hard to turn and needed a good soaking in WD40 for a while beforehand.

Regards

Johny.

Thanks Johny, I'll give them a spray tomorrow. Sounds like you had the same problem I've just developed! Did a search on this - seems like it's a common problem with the older cars?

robs

To answer my own question - yes very easy!. 10 minutes to get the old one out, 20 to get the new one in & fill up. Thanks guys. (& Ta to Midland Impreza for the fast delivery - ordered it yesterday, arrived this morning)
