Default Radiator

Hi there. I've got an MY94 WRX which seems to be leaking coolant. Where the top large hose joins the radiator there is a large crack in the plastic housing leaking water. Does anyone know please if you can buy this housing separately or do you have to buy a whole new radiator? Cheers chaps.

Ben, your rad's on its way. Saturday AM delivery, if the couriers let me down call me over the weekend by pm and l'll kick *** first thing Monday. Out of my hands now I'm afraid. They're usually OK but lets wait and see.


Good Luck David APi Engines / APi Impreza

PS Don't forget the antifreeze.
