Gaz,

where are you?

I have one that has a very slight leak on one side. I fitted a new one from Powercraft Engineering (save the night) yesterday and I think the old one is still behind the garage.

If it is any good to you, you are welcome to it

Send save the night a message (Bill) I have fitted one of his rads and it looks preety good. New rad and new thermostat so hopefully no more bulging saggy radiators!

update...... re-cored by autorads in sheffiled at a cost of £98.00 plus the dreaded v.a.t...he said he thought the head gasket/gaskets were gone because the top line of the core was ballooned...but i have no overheating or pressure problems ? does anyone know if this is popular on 24v rads?????cheers.gaz
