E39 radiator pin hole
Discussion
The rad on my E39 has just developed a pinhole leak I've Araldited it up and it seems to be holding but having Googled it there seems to be a problem with the plastic age hardening and holing/cracking.
Does anyone have any recommendations for aftermarket radiators as I'd rather put a better part in there if I've got to pop the old one out.

Was the pinhole in the vertical "header tank" on the nearside, right next to where the top hose goes in, by any chance?
Design fault, methinks. The top hose is not flexible enough. I tried a prorietary coolant leak sealer, but it didn't work.
Just replace the radiator, it's charted in the stars. £130 sounds OK.
