My car has sprung a leak... a few drops of coolant on the floor under the OS radiator. I assume the radiator has failed, though I'm surprised as the car has mesh grilles fitted. There is a drip from where a hose joins the rad at the base of it, so maybe that but not had a chance to look properly and Im rarely that lucky.:sad:
Replacing the rad looks reasonably straightforward DIY - I changed a fan so I know my way round that bit of the car.
The bit I'm concerned about is draining all the coolant and refilling/burping, particularly given that I don't have a lift in the garage so would be working with axle stands. Is is as much of a faff as it looks?
Anyone got any tips/hints/tales of woe or encouragement to add?
