Sorry to hear about it...

But i must commend you on you smart repair work. It looks really good and people wouldnt even notice that the ring is there. Very nice. But when you get some more money, get the locks removed and it will look alot nicer :lol:

Now onto the radiator, how big is it?...the hole?

If its a small hole you can get this cement paste for steel/alloy that i have used on radiators before and it keeps the tight and fixes your problem. After using it on about 5 different radiators and not having any issues, for a small hole i wouldnt think twice. If its a bit bigger hole then yes, get a new one.

Hope it helps,

Ivan

Ivan's tip is probably best but back in the ol' days they'd crack an egg into the rad, it'd get you from A->B just watch the temp gauge and drive everywhere with your heaters on full blast!

cheers ivan.... yeah it looks ok now, i may consider removing the locks if i choose to keep it, if not then i wont!!

well the hole was quite large, as it was gushing out and empty'd the rad in 4-5 mins with the engine running... & lobotomy, yeah a few people recommended doing that or using rad weld...untill the saw the hole!!!

but all is good again as ive got a new rad for £88 inc vat. and boy!!! have i missed driving her!!!!!! its good to be back on the road!!!

hopefully no more bad luck!!

same thing with the bumper happened to me a few weeeks ago when i was up in aberdeen,

came out the next morning from the flat i was staying at to find someone had scraped my back bumper, and it wont rub out :huh:

this weekend a mate fucked my drivers side lock so i now need to use the passenger side one to open the car,

im not flush with the cash right now so its feels like the car is going down hill with all this shite weather all the time,
