    Radweld

    It's fantastic! I've always been very sceptical on quick fix products like this but one small bottle of this seen me through a 500+ mile round trip to Reading last weekend AND sitting in traffic on the M5 for hours on end last Friday! I thought my trip was scuppered the morning I set off but all was saved... although I missed the festival on Friday due to being gridlocked...

    Or what a previous owner did on my brothers car, shove so much rad weld into the system it blocked the head gasket fault enough to sell the car on

    Jeepers! Didn't know it caused problems like that! Luckily the car I used was my old man's Mazda 626 so no turbo to worry about. I only put in a small bottle and monitored the temperature gauge etc... to see if it was working, but everything seemed ok going to and from Reading... Need a new radiator anyway but as a temporary fix it seemed to do the job.

    Re: Radweld

    Its supposed to be just the egg white but definately not a good solution try cleaning it up and flushing the system out afterwards. Boiled egg anyone
