ere we go.... noticed sitting at traffic lights today steam comming from under the bonnet. pulled over and had a look and it seems i have a weeping rad. its not loosing massive amounts of water as the resevoir was full.
i popped some rad seal crap in to see if that rectifies the problem and i thought it did. until tonight, once again steam at traffic lights.

under closer inspection it looks like i have a pin ***** spilt on the front top left corner of the rad.

How much are new rads for these and are they easy to fit? i have seen them on ebay from £40 to £70. are these any good and could someone recomend a good supplyer etc.

thanks in advance

I love the look of the car as it is with the low oem spoiler. If it were mine I'd keep it as is to be different and not try and make it look like every other modded Impreza with a big wing! Also, if I had £250 burning a hole in my pocket for modding, I'd fix the radiator problem and get it running as sweet as I could with maybe a bit of rolling road time to set everything up just right.
