As above really with the summer comes heat a paranoid feelings watching the temp gauge I want to beer that.. Who's got what and were do I get it from?

Standard one will do you fine mate, don't go for copper core if you choose to not go standard though

Also make sure the rest of the cooling system is fine, thermostat, water pump, etc

as above, make sure its spot on and then dont worry about it again.. the temps ment to go up and down, dont watch it, panic everytime or lose sleep..

its goes from the 2nd mark to above the 3rd all day and everyday.. when it points straight up its time to worry, i caught mine pointing to the sky, pulled over, bridged the fan wires and drove home without a care in the world.. i've boiled it over till waters pi55ed out the engine twice after the belt fell off, not once have i blown a gasket..

the renault 5's "blowing headgaskets" was due to sh1te fueling, not a poor a cooling system..

it can take a battering, just looking after it:agree:

What's the crack with copper core rads. Why no likely!?

[Tony Walker]

mine was great but theyre not very strong, hoses on and off a few times and the paint was beginning to flake off. it was on mine for many years. I think different people different opinions but generally there a bit weaker than the std rad.
