If so mine has just done exactly the same thing. I have bought a second had radiator for £30.
A guy i work with had the same on his old Type R, so presume it is a common problem.
Speak to Jason on 01709 555155 (scoobybits), he has some new ones in stock and can get them delivered.

Yes same place, looked like i was using a smoke screen, antifreeze all over the exhaust system.
I will give Jason a ring to find out how much.
Thanks for the advice Moley.

I got a second hand one for 60, on my previous 98 turbo. Piece of cake to change too. The tank down the side cracked after a bit of a high speed motorway run
The 2nd hand one done me good from then on

The one on my car came with a lifetime warranty, but it was there when i bought the car from its previous owner, im afraid i dont know the make of it but u should look into it as it may save u money in the long run mate.

best bet is to remove the radiator complete with the cowling. Jsut remember to disconnect the fan/s first. Remove the cowling when the radiator is out of the car, much easier and saves on the knuckle flesh!
