Help Needed.....

[Milky400]

Afternoon all.

Does anyone fancy helping me change my leaky radiator? took the bonnet of this morning and leaking from where the plastic side is joined to the rad.

Payment will be by way of endless tea and coffee, lunch and some beer of choice to take away. Had a look myself and don't fancy attempting it on my own.

Failing that I'll have to arrange for it to be taken to mat smith.

Cheers.

Thanks for the offer tony, but it's pissing out and I don't want to risk the drive from Cambridge.

Will probably end up trying myself and seeing how it goes, changed a few rads in the past, guess it's a confidence thing.

Haven't got the rad yet as money shirt at the moment, will probably end up with an alloy rad.

Do I need to remove the service bonnet? I have tried and the Allen bolts seem seized.

Also, I have air con, is the air con rad connected to the engine rad?

[Milky400]

Is it possible without removing it? The bolts are proper right and won't budge, worried about breaking the fibre glass around the nut...

[Milky400]

Is the rad connected to the air con rad? Have the drivers side out but the passenger side not pulling up!!!!

[Milky400]

Does this screw need removing.

Sorted it, had to drill the self tapper out as couldn't access it. It is screwed from the reverse of the air con rad. Once that was out piss of pee really. With the radiator people for pressure testing. They have one on the shelf if it is beyond repair.
