    Default Found the source of my water loss !

    the radiator !

    i turned the engine on and she was leaking all over the place from the front of the car, just under the radiator. i must have hit it a bit hard after a speedbump. theres a bit of rust and orangey stuff on the undertray as well, i'm certain this is the problem now.

    i will probs whip the undertray off soon too have a better look, but for now i need new radiator prices, maybe some new pipes as well, anybody how much i should be looking at including labour ?

    cheers lads

    took it into garage yesterday, been quoted around 210 all in. and thats with discounted labour !

    at the moment they filled it with that stuff you add to your coolant to fill all the gaps and its worked so far, but its a temporary solution i know :(

    Z, if i were you mate, i'd look for the hole (s) yourself and fix them if they dont look too bad, i doubt your hoses will be damaged unless by speedbump you mean you've driven over off a cliff.

    Find the holes/splits and repair them with some JB Weld or weld them up with some durafix etc, would only cost you £10 with JB Weld (Or similar) mate
