Changing the Rad

[ahhpigsy]

I have a water leak on the rad and need to stick in a new one. The car is an auto, is this an easy job bearing in mind the Air con, auto box oil cooler etc. If anybody has any info i would appreciate it.

Thanks


Steve

i'd pm Rufe regarding a new genuine rad, you'll be suprised. when mine went i looked into doing it myself, but as i'd only had the car a week i didn't really know my way round it so took it to my local garage to do. wasn't cheap mind

Thanks, I will get a new oem as about £100 but wanted to fit it myself if poss, spent £2500 on the gearbox and suspension in the last month and getting pissed off with money pit. I have been told it's a garage job as the air con needs to be drained and the oil cooler can be nasty.
Has anybody attempted it or know the job?

Cheers
