radiator emergency
Guys,
My rad is blowing a little stream of steam out of the top right corner(as your sat in the drivers seat) it's getting the induction kit wet and im very worried
does anyone know if there is a place near milton keynes where i can get a new rad fitted or does anyone have one for sale would prefer new if poss is it a recognised problem with the rads ?
It seems to be leaking under the black top plate there is no obvious leak as such
Thanks for all your help
James

common problem, mine did the same, crack on side tank. seems to be a moulding problem during manufacture, when ticking over no leaks but on motorway or driving when the engine is hot it starts to squirt out. wouldnt have spotted mine leaking if it wasnt for the bonnet vents. i got mine from ebay for 99quid, very good and very easy to fit.

Common problem.
It will be a hairline crack on the drivers side end tank, you prob wont be able to see it until you take it off the car.
You can get aftermarket radiators off eBay for around £90 delivered they have been modified to prevent this fault re-occuring.
I've had mine on for nearly 2 years now, top quality design and 3 year warrenty from here
