Did the spout on the radiator that feeds the overflow bottle break off??
If so it can be repaired using a 1/4 bsp to 5/16 hose barb. Use tape and goo
mines been broken for years without dramas

Read the post mate. It has already been repaired and has broken again.

wasnt sure if it was that area but thanks for pointing it out, Pffft lol
If its not completely knackered he could patch it to get mobile again
Can you put a picture of the damaged area?

I could prob fix it by taping and fitting a 1/4 bsp fitting (might be enough room) but i dont want to take any chances with it.
Once i get the new rad in ill attempt to fix it and keep as a backup.

Fyi. You can buy just the plastic tanks if its an oem radiator. Maybe even if its aftermarket too. Not sure though.
I bought a new td oem rad for my truck and it came with the top tank cracked. So a new tank i ordered and i just have to get it fitted.

All done, 2 problems with it,
1 being the drain plug was busted and i didnt relise until i notice coolant leaking out, fixed that with old rad drain plug.
2 rad cap didnt fit, had to modify the cap to fit.

All up and running now.

Old rad would have needed to be removed and cleaned anyway so glad this happend in my driveway and no hundreds ks away,

Thanks to all that helped.
