E TEA 66 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Can't you see exactly where it's coming from as that seems to me like a crack in the block without pics and if that is the case then it would be cheaper to buy another car i'm afraid ..

Devonboy Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Sorry to reminisce but going back some 45 years Vauxhall / Bedford sold a thing that looked like a bit of dog pooh. you just shoved it in the radiator and Presto job done, don't know what it was made of but it done the job. Another thing we used was a tin of Colmans mustard powder straight in the radiator. They where the good old days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
