my hawk radiator went on the way home today, i nursed it home (about 2 miles) and the temp guage went just over 3/4 way up would that have caused any damage?

it seems to have split at the top just left of the bonnet catch

Shrek mate,you should be fine,you done the best thing by just nursing it back home,i have bust a radiator before on my wife’s classic and we drove back from Crawley to Epsom like that stopping off to just top the water back up.My first experience of a steam room ,We joined up with the RAC soon after that.SJ.

I've rang roger clark who are at the end of my street but still waiting for them to ring back......
thwaites got straight back to me within 2 hours and 3 different prices
- genuine subaru rad
-oem aftermarket rad
-alloy rad uprated
Issue I have is getting it to thwaites,£90 transport fee.

Can't you tow it with your 4x4

No mate not got a tow hook on it. If rcm get back to me and it's cheaper than thwaites and the transport costs then I will drive it around to them, literally 1 min drive if that.
Failing that I will get it recovered to thwaites
