Radiator Replacement

[S4CJO]

While the winter months are upon us those to do jobs are slowly getting done.

I'm relacing the radiator with a new Radtec. However before taking the old one out along with the bonnet off, the qusetion "What other items i.e.bobbins do I need to consider replacing on the rad while its out?"

The rad hoses?

Don’t know if it is the same as the Griff butif so there is an earth point on the chassis rail that is whole lot easier to remove and clean up with the rad out as are the front anti roll bar bushes.

Hi Team,
New hoses fitted last year along with S/Steel swan neck. Also fitted new suspension arms all round along with all the Powerflex including the knucle skinning anti roll bar, came out OK with all the suspension removed.

I'm assuming new rubber bobbin bits for the rad fixing?

Anyone looking for a full set of arms and shocks from 98 450?

Maybe V8NRG if that bolt won't come out?

Why take the bonnet off. If you get someone to help, 2 people can remove the radiator with the bonnet still in place.
