Got a slight leak in my rad. There was a very small puddle of coolant under her this morning - it really is slight, approx a teaspoon or two.
I looked at the rad at college tonight and can't see a hole, just a slight amount of coolant around the area.
What do you guys recommend?

Just been to pick up a 2nd hand rad. 25 sobs from e-bay, 20 mins drive from me
It's now sitting in the garden with 4.5 pints in it. Will properly pressure test it Thurs/Fri then modify it to fit.
Will take photos & dimensions and post them on here.

Fitted the rad (after filling with 'Nasty Stuff (TM)' and getting tonnes of scale out of it Approx 30 hrs of soak, empty, swill, soak, empty, rinse and repeat ad infinitum.
Also replaced all the metal and rubber brake hoses, rear cylinders etc.
She's running much cooler - or am I dreaming it?
I've deffo sorted the fan switching now. Got the ECU happily talking to the VSS and fan relays. It really does have temperature vs speed thresholds. Yaaaahhoooo.
Beer anyone? _________________ The advice you receive on here is worth the paper it's written on.
