Hi all, i'm hoping for some advice again!! (my97 imp)
Iv'e spotted some coolant leaking from under car, had a closer look but cant see where its coming from, bottom left corner (as u look into the engine) seems pretty wet and radiator feels a little "crumbly" down there. As it's dark, i can't really see much, defo coolant dripping from towing eye. Was also pretty wet around ABS block?

What sort of price do they sell for???
Anywhere local to Edinburgh to get one from? ( assuming its that )
Anything else that might cause the leak?
Is there an overflow that would vent fluid under the bonnet??

Any other help or advice appreciated guys,

Might have to call JVS again, c if they can sort something.

Thanks in advance
Billy.

 

Billy, try some rad weld.

Horrible stuff and can cause bother............................but

4 track days in mine after I replaced original plastic tanked OE radiator with a metal tanked WRX one.

The WRX one had a tiny leak and the rad weld has been solid since.

Moving soon..........

 

sorry to here about your rad, phone andy and pete, they will sort you out!!

cheers robinh20mrv

 

Thanks dougster, tried that earlier tonight, but it had stopped dripping before i put it in???, will have a closer look in the morning, reckon it's knacked though,

Cheers robin, as per you advice the other evening, i called pete@jvs, sound bloke, had new clutch fitted and front cat(found to be faulty) yesterday. Then rad blows today, - whats next i wonder??? purchase of one of their tasty imports sound =s like a good option!!

Iv'e just looked on the jvs web site, Guess what? theres me scoob in the servicing section, my lady is sooooo delighted!!!!!! http://www.powervehicles.com/parts.htm

Billy.

 

My Radiator went a couple of weeks ago, Got a (brand) new one from glenburgie for £130 + vat & delivery. Easy to fit, a couple of hours at the most.
