I can't find a guide anywhere on the forum as to how to replace the radiator, is it straightforward and is there anything else I need other than the new radiator? Thankyou. 2.2 Petrol

Thanks for your replies, I already have a replacement, I was just trying to put off doing it as I need the car a lot at the moment, plus something is bound to go wrong!

Can anyone tell me what type of plastic the sides of the radiator are made from, I have a crack near the top hose which is weeping. I have some Plastex to repair it but it says it will not adhere to polypropelene or polyethylene.
Has anyone successfully used Plastex or anything else for this?
Thanks.

On further reflection, shouldn't the rear fan kick in and out from slow to fast speed as the radiator gets hotter and cooler? It seems that once it goes on to fast at the moment it stays there, I don't think this is right.

I will be replacing the radiator later in the year, are the two switches on it the same? The car is a 2.2 petrol.
Thanks

My car only has one front fan and one rear. I've just done a cold start with the aircon on auto, both fans started immediately. When I switched the aircon off both fans stopped. I presume the rear fan has two speeds as it was not as noisy as the other day, so I think things are working as normal and rear fan will switch to fast (noisier) speed when things warm up.

There's only one and yes it runs. Car is not overheating even with aircon turned off. Aircon working fine.

I know it's been warm lately but my rear radiator fan is running fast straight from a cold start, whereas it only used to kick in when the engine got hot, it switches off if I turn off the aircon. Any ideas?

I was a bit sceptical, but I always am. Never had this problem in the 21 years I’ve had the car so I suspect it was something that happened while the car was being restored, anyway it’s fixed and he only charged me 40 quid so I’m happy.

It turned out to be high resistance in the yellow plugs under the seat. A quick spray with switch cleaner and all is well. Don’t know what caused this but the guy with the scanner found it in minutes and said it can happen to a nearly new car.

The car sprayer is back from holiday soon so he will be the first point of contact. If no joy there I will contact Mr Wood. Fortunately I haven’t paid all the money yet.

Anyone here have one, or know of someone who does? I’m going to be taking it back to the guy who did the work but presumably he won’t be able to turn it off without said reader anyway. I’m happy to travel to someone who knows what they’re doing.

Is there a switch for the passenger side airbag? I’ve never seen one.

Anyone with Tech 2 in the Surbiton area? Or will disconnecting the battery work?
