Title: Radiator on the 2.5 estate
Post by: steve6367 on 20 May 2015, 21:20:50

Clearly a new radiator required :-(

When this happened on the 2.2 the HG followed shortly afterwards - should I panic?

Same happened on my old one, I was baffled where the leak was coming from until I lifted the cover, I sealed it with Araldite for a wee bit  ;D. I have a 6 month old rad here you could have had too

Looking at it reminds me of the problem I had with the 2.2 from Car Cooling.

What do others do about the different profile on the top where the fan clips on?
