Hi all,
more problems with the C70.
The radiator light came on on Monday. I noticed when pulling up, a bit of steam coming from under the bonnet.
Under closer examination it looked to be coming from the radiator. I topped it up and have ordered a radiator which I'll fit tomorrow.
On pulling up tonight, the steam was there yet again. I thought I'd have a quick look under the bonnet and saw the water around the same are.
My concern is that the radiator is actually splitting! I don't remember seeing anything as obvious as that on Monday however it was dark.
Is the radiator plastic swelling and cracking because of another fault? There seems to be quite a lot of pressure in the top hose which adds to my concerns.
I've got to drive the car 70 miles home tomorrow which is what is really worrying me. Could really do without the radiator going all together!!!
Anyone with any experience of the radiator going like this?
Ben
