I think she'll be ok, I killed the engine ax soon as I saw steam so it didn't run for long. Hadn't been driving it hard either...

Is it one of the metal top rads?

**Christophski** · 7 July 2012, 11:58

nope, plastic...

Think i'd prefer to just buy a new one and know its good. need to weigh up the options.

Home and in the garage now, adrian flux recovery is pretty good and hassle free.

got the rad out and it looks like a cheapo nissens one. The plastic top hose mount has snapped straight off...wonderful! Coolant everywhere!!

Think i might spend some money and get a good quality one, pete at QC said £185 so not too bad!

nissens are metal IIRC

A nice bleeding job coming up, well you know what i mean
is it worth doing the stat while she's empty
Hope it goes well bud

Stat is new, car has near enough had all small things changed...the rad wasn't one of them haha

Not too bad a job, I'm good at getting the rads out now, had some practise!

Rad is not too bad, harder with A/C...

Fit a Behr, mine has been perfect for over 5 years...

**willg54** · 7 July 2012, 15:18

I got it out in under 25mins with aircon too

Thanks for the advice, ill find a Behr!

Not to be a spoil sport but why did it break there, weak point or did the system pressurise?
Lucky you spotted/stopped so soon.

looks like a weak point to me, i'll put some pics up later. Dont think the system is pressurising anyway

Couldn't miss it...the steam was a great give away
