Radiator Changeout.

[Blackduke]

Greeting,

I am planning to changeout my radiator this week. Normally I would not worry to much except that we are moving 800km away the following week and I don't want any nasty surprises. Having a quick look, everything looks fairly compact. I suspect I should be able to remove the fan shrowd, and push it back over the fan, and then remove the old radiator, then slip the old one back in. I would appreciate a pointer to any old threads which I cannot find, not being totally thread savy, and coolant quantity for refill. I know I should just get the manual, but as stated, I find myself caught a bit short for time. Thanks for any help.

Regards,

Paul.

Yes. Bit thick on my behalf. 1997 GU. It the 4.5ltr Petrol Auto. First of the round body shape. As you can see I am new to Forums. Thanks for any advice.

Forget it. I just had a look underneath and it appears I need a second elbow in each arm to get to the bottom of the radiator. If I had a few days I might give it a go but it's going to the mechanic instead for this one. Who thought changing a radiator could be so difficult!

It's really not that difficult when you look more closely.
