hi guys, im pretty sure my radiator is leaking, how hard are they to fix, how much do they cost and how hard are they to replace (removing and fitting wise)

cheers

Cost - Not much from a scrappy.

Easy to replace, only a few hoses and some screws. Lift out, refit and then fill. Clear any airlocks and thats it.

Hour at most.

Brand New rads are only £40ish. I would buy a new one.

its a liquid u can pick up from halfords and you pour it in to your rad and it works its way around and fixes any cracks or small holes , u should give it a bash
