in case any one else has a problem like this after spending a lot of time phoning my loac vaux dismalters ect came to desision to by newe rad as the difrenc in price of new one from new was not that much more and with 12 month warenty as was looking at aroun 50 for second hand and 90 for new with delivery and full warent  not worth old rad that may give problem and even cost more in long run
