and where to get one from........there nearly £190 from vx on TC  

Ive found another leak.......from the bottom of the rad (battery side)   (explains why im chucking in 1L of coolant/week)

Looking from above it certainly doesnt appear to leaking from the top and running down.....but i need to get it up in air to double check it is the rad......is there anything attached to the rad low down battery side that could cause a leak?  :-/

Drain valve?

Drain valve?

Red valve at the bottom passenger side of the rad. In theory you should only need your fingers to undo, in practice though you might need molegrips/pipe grips to start it off.

  Misunderstanding there
I know where it is and all that, just wondered if TD's was leaking

Thanks guys  .........hopefully the drain plug is leaking and just needs tightening up....i really dont wanna have to buy a new rad!

I'll have a look.

It seals on two little 'O' rings so tightening up shouldn't really make any difference to its sealling ability. (similar set up to the ally oil filter housings)

Right..had a look.....lying on back in the road......great fun!  

Its not the drain valve.......its coming from higher up.

Looking from the top I can just see and get my fingers to a temp sensor? (i think thats what it is).......that feels dry just underneath it.....so appears to be lower down than that.......is there anything between the two? I carnt see. If there isnt i spose it must be a leak from the rad
