loose rad

[biffster]

hello all had my st3 near 3 weeks now first chance to have a proper look around engine bay. I noticed that the rad is a little loose around top locating pins.

I have taken  covers  off  and see that the pins are in a sort of rubber bush/surround are these bushes worn and is the rad suppose to be a tight snug fit

Hi I had this same conversation with the dealer who sold me my 14 plate Fiesta. They assured me it was normal. The problem was that while they were sorting other issues out they lent me a 17 plate Fiesta. I had a look at that and it's radiator was secure with hardly any movement. When I returned the loan car I raised the problem again. The look of 'so what' said it all. I fixed it myself at home. Just pushed a short section of plastic tube over each peg. It took out all of the play. and months later it is still good.
