Title: Changing Radiator Help Reqd
Post by eod46 on Feb 3^rd, 2005, 11:38am

Just recently purchased '96 Scorpio EFI 2.9 12V
Main rad leaking. Removed and expecting new rad
this weekend.
Are there any tips to re-installing the new one.
Will I need to top up auto gear oil ? Did'nt loose much
when removing.

Thanks
Eugene

if u have lost a little oil, just get the engine up to temp and check the level. add more if needed ....

Cheers Nick

Eugene,
Welcome to the Forums - and well done on your first post. ;D

The manual for this procedure in on http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/manual/cooling/Radiator.pdf the Cooling section of the Servicing/Repairs section.

It's all quite straightforward - just top up as necessary when the engine is up to temperature.

YES they are available from Ford about £70 at the last check but there are second hand ones available if fact there is one on that other selling place ATM have a search Or I am sure someone will point you in the right direction..Item no 4523398000 in fact....
It states that its for a different model but I think that they are ALL the same
