Weeping Radiator :(

Post by Foz.Foz » Sun Jul 12, 2009 2:06 pm

Just been doing a bit of work under the bonnet and noticed the tiniest amount of liquid on the top of the radiator :evil: . Looks like I'm going to get another one.
Can anyone recommend somewhere that won't rip us off?? Did a Google search any prices range from £100 on flea-bay with no bidders as of yet, up to £250 from online dealers.
Thanks....

Just repaired mine,
it was weeping at the joining pipe at the bottom coming from the gear oil feed.
Tho' I'VE GOTTA SAY THIS WAS A YEAR AND A HALF IN so i think this was a fleabay one.
So you pays your money and you know the rest.
This might be an option for you if money's tight.
Any radiator place will test it for you for free and tell you if its servicable.
