Been working on the car this morning and disaster struck! I was refitting the radiator when it snagged on a small bolt and went into the top core!! Now I have sprung a damn leak! I'm going to EFI rolling road day next Sunday with the car! Or should I say I was... Has anyone got a spare going?? It's got a separate oil cooler and my fan is fine just need a rad ASAP!! Can anyone help?

Thanks.

or you can temp repair them, drain the fliud, use a hot air gun to make sure its bone dry. push back the fins in the surrounding area and clean up the puncture and smear some areldite or similar product. i've even used fibreglass filler with sucess in the past.

if that fails k-seal will fix it until you drain the water out again. blue bottle orange label good gear around 10 quid from any motorist discount store.
