WATER LEAK :-(

Post by Gary406 »

well after traveling 230 miles to meet nigel (omega) for a new boot i return home 2 days after to find my radiator is the cause of my water leak
at the bottom of the rad its all piss wet through,

if i'd only bought that new radiator off nigel why i was there for £10, :evil:

oh well never mind, in need of a new rad anyway least its not head gasket 8)

Very common fault, the con-rad fitting is a crap design, I had to change the rad & the bottom hose on mine :frown:
