hi all . quick question. Very Happy

have a small leak in my radiator and am loosing about 1 litre every 2 weeks. the rad looks new ish but has plastic ends which i have read ,damage easy. New rad is £180 ,ssssooo as i save for this i thought i would put some rad weald in it for now. on closer inspection i have to say i am reluctant to do so. the radiator looks thin and flimsy. would rad weald block it compleatly? rather have a leak than a blockage if you know what i mean Wink

i had a leak on my sh***n radiator, and i asked about rad weld (rebuild rad cost me £250) and was advised against it by quite a lot of peeps as rad weld doesnt tend to stay in just the radiator and can block up water pump etc...... I may be wrong, but it did make sense to me..

hi gypsyfilly, glad you said that coz i thought i was the only one Laughing

.i was expecting the useral comment like"i slung some of that rad weld in and it sorted out my leaks in my rad" but they fail to tell you about the water pump change and a cooked turbo a fue months later that happend to slip there mined Laughing

"ye i had to change them two things but there werent no leaks! i would use that rad weald again!" Shocked

...........you would ye? ok then corse and effect and all that Wink
