Hi Noz,
Before we all branch off in different directiona, my thoughts on radweld. I understand that it only coagulates on contact with cold air - i.e. when there is a leak. In any case, I sugested it as a sensible (I thought) alternative to a 28 hour (12 off plus 12 back on) head gasket change! If the radiator is leaking I would have thought it unlikely to be dripping on the mechanic's head as reported. Cheers, Derek -------------------- 1999 3.0V624v Exclusive Black! (RP8362)

Hi Derek,
As I said there are conflicting views on radiator sealants. I've read articles from people who wouldn't go past it and others who wouldn't go near it if it was the last thing on earth. My view - the jury is still out ;-) Cheers noz  -------------------- '10 '59' C5 2.0 HDi Exclusive Tourer Metallic Grey
