Need a new radiator
« on: 08 August 2014, 13:31:23 »

Anyone fancy posting some links on this while I'm at work?

03 3.2 auto elite.

Bit of a minefield as I recall?

Temp sensors and drain plug seals replaced. Still dripping. :(

Got to get one myself...

Not sure if it's worth replacing the sensors as well?

Also need to replace the condenser as well so that's a double job, plus I want to remove the auxiliary pump ready for the LPG install.  ::)

Because we managed to flush all the crap out of the one on the car, and so leaving it in the shed (it's Al's old spare) was much easier than trying to get all the aircon gubbins off the radiator in the car..
