radiator removal / replacement

[methodwares]

not the most fun of jobs... the bonnet does not need to come off, and it is much easier to get out if there is someone to help you (one person on each side of the car).

puting it back was fairly straight foward and didn't need any help getting it in.

bleeding the system... that is a long, ball-ache of a job, and i'm still not conviced i got all the air out of the system.

That's what I have heard from everyone I asked!!

I still intend to do it though as I'm going to give the 2 stage radflush a go.

I found bleeding the system very easy but then my drive is on a steep incline, which i think suits the job very well considering where the bleed screws are.

Forgot to mention car was facing up hill
