Radiator

[Allandwf]

Hi, Just took the Cerb out to keep everything moving. When got back noticed water dripping from each small drain either side of the radiator panel, definately coolant , no leaks from hoses, or top radiator plug.Possibly the radiator itself ?
Oh well , suppose the Cerb must think it needs a belated Xmas present !!!

You should be able to get it reconditioned for under £150 quid. Its just whether you want to take it out yourself or get someone to for it for you

I was thinking along those lines. don't mind doing it myself, and may get some silicon hoses with the money I could save.

Rad is out in minutes, Ready Rads Bham did mine £110.

There's definitely a lad in Dundee that a friend of mine has used before for his chim.

Mine didn't seem to quite fit out of the slot, but a bit of faffing around did it in the end, I just need to paint over the scrape marks now, lol.

The jobs not difficult, but it took a while to get to all the hoses and undo the rusted clips, and it took an age for the coolant to seep back in after. Took me about an hour to get the rad out, and about a day to change the hoses and get it all back in again.

Thanks for the info people. Snowing here again, so looks like I'm going to have a few days to do it !
