Help, while I fitting the nearside headlight panel the bolt popped off and conveniently jumped into the radiator! What are the chances of that, but I had the cap off to fit the panel.

Anyway, what problems are a loose bolt and both the washes with it going to cause me?

:headvswal

I am assuming that as long as the bolt and washers don't move from bottom of radiator and won't fit into water pipes I should be okay?

i would remove the rad and take it out! is it really worth the risk?

How much effort to remove the radiator?

How much effort to remove the radiator?

i did it this morning, pretty straightforward, need access under the car for lower rad hose (and atf hoses if you have auto). remove top top rad hose, overflow pipe, brackets and lower fan shroud. should then just lift out with a bit of fiddling

Cool, I will have a go tomorrow.
