Title: Up & Running
Post by Tons_of_fun on Oct 4^th, 2009, 8:32pm

Im pleased to say im now up & running again after 3 long weeks without a radiator. Despite the efforts of some of the superb members from here, i had to bite the bullet & go for a full recon unit. Matt's taxi service saved the day & ran me down to Ready Rads in Birmingham where they did me a full re con ( 33mm core ) for only £105 inc vat :). Soon had it fitted....but not without some drama. Basically i had the mother of all air locks which made me panic & scream like a girl, fully expecting the head gasket to fail at any second. Luckily Matt was at hand to calm me down by beating me around the head with a 56mm spanner :o...well nearly ::) ::) ;D. Hopefully i wont get anymore drama for a while & can start enjoying the car once more :-/. For now though im a happy little camper :D. Thanks to everyone who tried to get me mobile again. Regards... craig :)

ive used ready rads before and found them very helpful and quite cheap really

I have just replaced the rad on my cosworth, last one ballooned on the top ???. Check your cap is free to blow off the pressure, mine seemed to be stuck and poss cause as rad looked in good condition.
