Hi all was wondering if anyone can help. My car has started steaming up today, after doing a search around the forum it all seems to point to a crack in the radiator. So I guess a new radiator is needed and was wondering which one I should get? Also with the cracked radiator can I still drive the car as I still have to get it to the garage.

Thanks

If you drive it you will probably blow the head gasket. And garage to fit a rad?? Its only 2 bolts.

If you have any ability with a spanner then a rad is easy to fit. I got a good price on e on e from APi a few years back - dunno if that would still be the case???
As long as your rad is only leaking water as opposed to pissing it - then you won't blow the HG on a short journey to a gararge if thats what you choose.

Steaming up inside? Or steam coming from the engine?

If it's the former, that points to a busted heater matrix...........

Ive just taken it apart seems to be the hose at the top of the raidator to the engine has a hole.

I know this probably is the biggest dumbass question but can anything else other that it being on the car for so long probably since it was built 11 years now cause it to break?
