Radiator Help / Advice
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, 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..........

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.
