Is radweld any good to use in a badly corroded & leaking radiator?
Mal Osborne - 20 Jul 2005 14:27 GMT
Nope, that sort of crap may help you limp along a little for a week or so,
but will probably cause more damage than good. Chuck the radiator, and put
in a new one, or if you are skint, save up a while & get one from the
wreckers, you may be lucky there.

There's a bunch of temporary fixes but you KNOW what you have to do, don't
you?  If you can't afford a new one (and I understand that completely!),
maybe it's repairable by a good radiator shop?

I've got a used radiator from 1.8 engine.  It's in good condition and
it can be yours for $100 plus actual shipping.  I was going top put it
up on eBay, but I've haven't gotten around to it yet.

Thanks for the advice all. I recon a new radiator it is then.
Thanks for the offer for your old one for $100 Jeff, but I'm in Scotland, &
the shipping would definitely cost too much. So I'm off to see the local
service station, about getting one next week.
