    Haven't had a chance to have a proper look, maybe someone has already done this.

    So ended up getting the car checked out by a radiator specialist which got some good reviews. Everything looks fine and the pressure test is good. There seems to be a bit of corrosion in the radiator so they think the radiator is clogged up. The radiator is an aftermarket PWR aluminium one and cant be open up and they think soaking wouldnt be sufficient. They recommend a bras one costing around 800. Any thoughts?

    Did you try flushing it out? The one you have looks bloody new mate surely it can be flushed out! Even just remove the hoses and flush it on the car.

    Ill pm you later tonight with a day this weekend to see if its suitable with you to look at what you plan on doing re the wiring.and check out that fuse

    I was planning on to but havent had time yet. This week one of my mates got a new radiator and recommended to get it checked by red devil so I figured why not. They reckon there is too much corrosion or something.
