It probably won't last long even with an epoxy fix!! Quite how epoxy is going to last on a car which blows radiators that are built for the job I don't know!! The bottom of the rad is showing signs of bulging already (as do most 24v's) and for a minimum of £30.00 would be a pretty poor investment IMO. I've replaced 4 radiators on the Cosworths now and my last one was of STN and in conjunction with a new stat is lasting well and showing no signs of bulging!

Agreed. What a waste of time & money. I have three radiators at the mo & they don't leak.

Matty, do I take it that you were selling the radiator? If so, I apologise if I offended you. I was just offering my advice in case you were actually buying it Baz
