More bad luck today, after spending about 2 weeks trying to suss out my dropping of water and overheating problem it was finally spotted tonight that I have got a Hairline crack at the top of the Radiator where the top hose pushes on to the flange where it meets the body (Always thought they were a bit weak). It had to occur after I had just shelled out £££ on new top and bottom rad hoses, Thermostat, a third lot of radiator flush, conditioner and Anti-Freeze and now I've gotta rip all the Bloody lot off again for the 3rd time to fit a New Rad. Has anyone got one for sale ??? If so how much ??? I know Baggins has got one spare I will ask him how much £££ he wants for it. Anyone else ???

mate sorry I had to be the one to find it but at least you know what it is now!! not much consolation hope you get it sorted asap.. Any help ya need

been there done that

Will try to get down to Baggin's place to buy his spare Radiator off him and then I will be sorted.

Yup I did that too, the inlet should be made out of ally :mad:

Its a bit of a P155 Take really on the behalf of the Japanese, but Hey Ho I suppose we shouldn't expect anything other than Plastic Fantastic from the Japs, if they can get away with manufacturing bits from Plastic then they will continue to do so....

Got my new rad so I'm gonna be fitting it onto the car today.

yippee - ffs dont overtighten the jubi clips!!!
