Roy,

if its the plastic section thats cracked (end tank) then recoring is not an option for you, as the radiator core (metal part with pipes and fins) is what is replaced when the radiator is recored.

Taking plenty of pics as you go.  ;)

Right spent the afternoon yesterday fitting my new Rad seemed to go in fine without any major problems, but you know the saying fix one problem and another appears well this seems the case.

The old Rad had a crack in the plastic near the top pipe, it was titchy but all the same was the cause of the leak.

Just got to keep an eye on the fluid level as you never know, ground I was parked on wasn't the best.

Shall start a new thread to do with the other problem.

So far I have found no more little puddles and the car operating temperature is alot better its only gone up past the 95 mark a couple of times but this has mainly been due to sitting in traffic.

Also the Heating itself gets very very hot which is nice on the cold mornings.

So all in all I am happy just hope I dont get any further problems with it in the future.
