Hi all,

I had an alloy radiator fitted back in 2010 and it's started leaking from the under the nearside, cant tell if its the core or the tanks without removing it. Are alloy rad's repairable or is a replacement in order?

Secondly, Is it an easy job to do apart from access? I'm just wary of the bleeding/air locks at the top of the system / in the head.

Finally, is it worth upgrading any parts e.g. the fans while its all apart?

Get yourself up to Advanced Radiators, Bells Close Ind Estate, Lemington, The Toon. NE15 6UF. 0191 267 3312.

They will do a recore if required.

Just had the Griff done. Great service. Good prices.

Cheers Bomb, I may do that if I decide to take this on myself and if they can be repaired!

It'll have to come out, I reckon. They can re-core pretty much anything there.
