      The rad plastic is not easily welded if at all. Get a new one but not nissens

        If you had said, Andy could have fetched you one out as hand luggage. My last spare one sold for £75 yesterday, and yes it's Beru, not a sh@t nissens like my current one.

            Poor build quality, they'll last a couple of years at most. OEM or Behr last 10+ years!

            Sometimes cheaper is not better.

              New radiator fitted now couldn´t risk it any longer not sure which type though cost 350€ with labour. thanks Jamo for jb weld advice kept me going
              have noticed it is keeping cooler now around 70-80ºC (before 90-100ºc) which is not bad considering the way i drive and the outside temp of 30ºC

                Nice one glad to hear you bought a new rad I'd hate to have read a post saying the whole thing had gone up in clouds of steam and the head gasket had melted and the head warped...

                Did you get an OE rad?
