cracked radiator

Postby JamesM » Fri Oct 27, 2006 8:56 am

my radiator is one with plastic top tank and its got a little crack in it so when engine is hot it bubbles and steams out of it.. is there any easy way to fix it? im not about to take it to get recond as i can just go to pap and get another. im just after a cheap and easy solution and if there is none il buy another.

cheers

Get a price to have a new top tank put on by a radiator shop. It shouldn't be too scary.

Plastic top tanks crap out constantly, so the risk of a second hand one, is that it will do the same thing in a weeks time :( as it such a common failure item.
