Coolant leak

[Janosh]

My car has sprung a leak somewhere near the bottom of the rad on the driver's side... I don't know if there are any pipes down there, so until I check from underneath I'm presuming it's the radiator end cap

Pipes along the chassis rail (usual suspects) are nice and dry so the fluid is not coming from anywhere along there. It only looses fluid when running and then drips pretty steadily at around 1L every 10 minutes.

Which would leave me with 3 options:

Used - £100
New OEM - £300
Something aftermarket, which leads me here: http://www.mishimoto.co.uk/vauxhall-monaro-perform...

Any feedback??

The Mishi rad has a reputation on the GTO forums for needing that lifetime warranty.

Thanks mate - that rules that option out!

I had the same back in Oct & just went for the OEM replacement from MF. I know quite a few have upgraded but figured the original lasted 10 years so shouldn't be a problem for a few more!

Did you ever get this sorted?

MF have a used one pretty cheap to get you out of trouble....

Thanks mate, in for a penny, in for a pound.... decided to get the job done properly and went for a new OEM rad

Interesting to see that MF now stock the Mishimoto rad as an upgrade option to OEM... I guess any quality issues that the GTO boys experienced have been addressed / resolved??

I've got no complaints about the OEM radiator that I fitted a few months ago, but a nice alloy one would have been my preference

Well at least a domestic supplier will be able to handle the returns...
