A couple of zeds booked in for replacement radiators today, nothing new there however one of them had a larger alloy rad. It was one of the ones that are very popular having been available at good price for a few years now, this was a surprise to see how bad it had failed, not only was it leaking from a crack in the header but the lower part of the matrix had blown out and down, just like a 20 year old Nissan unit, a bit disappointing? on a 3 year old unit? Note: lack of antifreeze/ coolant additive

I'd be pretty pissed off if I had bought a new radiator 3 years ago and that happened!

Very good point, not a drop of antifreeze and the sludge was like quick sand!
