knackered my rad

[Fuddy as muck]

Whilst trying to take my bumper off, the ratchet slipped and i'v managed to damage my rad :oops: All the fluid has drained as its at the bottom but i'm wondering if its possible to get them repaired? I only replaced it last summer for a recon unit and dont want to go through the expence again. Failing that does anyone have one that they are willing to sell? Its for a diesel.

You may be able to get it repaired instead of another core, depending on the damage, and being in fairly new condition, you need to locate a local rad specialist and have a word with them

[James.Harwood]

To be honest it may be worth putting a S3 rad on, better cooling and cheaper

[The Landy Guy]

yeah i agree probs just easier to replace it!!

most likely cheaper aswell!

I had a leaky one repaired (it was for my car tho not the landy) at the local radiator place and it was £30 or £40 quid. They fixed a hole and replaced some of the threaded fittings on the side of it.
Definately cheaper than a complete repacement especially if yours is still quite new.

Ive got a good non leaky series 3 rad for sale £40 inc postage

squeeze the leak closed with needle nosed pliers... stick in some rad weld or an egg if you want the cheap option and run till warm n fixed

did it after drilling my rad fitting an electric fan (oops) and months on its fine

Tidy up the hole and stick some plumbers solder in it.  Use as little head as nesisarry to avoid melting other soldered joints.  I used electrical solder once (all I had to plug fan damage) and even that made it useable though slightly leeky, proper stuff sorted it out!

i sliped with a grinder and put a hole in mine got some stuff from halfords and repaired it

Taking a part of a vit down the scrapy I lost my temper and put a hammer through the scrap cars rad.

Then a week later my rad burst and the only one they had... yup, got it in one.
