Well guess it had to happen,started using abit of water
Looks like its the radiator, top front on the drivers side,where the small pipe is.Its not the hose

Looks easy enough to do, any tips

Do you have air con - I don't remember it..
it's not too bad a job.

Two good tips -

1) Take bonnet off
2) Remove perspex front panel & number plate
- it's the only way you can attach the oil cooler !

I'm not sure if the layout of yours is the same as my bog standard 350, but if so here's a couple of hints.

1.Remove all hoses from the rad and the engine sides - they get in the way. Do this outside the garage so you don't have a wet floor to work on.
2.Take the bonnet off
3.Remove the headlights, to get at the mounting brackets
4.Jack up the front of the car to give more room to drop the rad out the bottom.
5.keep the wife / girlfriend / children out of the garage to avoid hearing the swearing.

Best of luck
