Anyone replaced the cooling radiator?

As above really gents. Noticed a small coolant loss over recent months (I only do about 3000 miles a year). Went in for it's MOT yesterday. Was advised that it appears radiator maybe on the way out as there was a small amount of coolant sitting on the bottom of it, the outside of it that is Whistle

The actual radiator doesn't seem hugely expensive, so wondering if it's something easy'ish to sort.

I've checked WIKI, but no good.

Cheers

Not the end of the world a job sir... You can unbolt the front easily enough... From memory the slam panel pulls forward giving enough room without the need to remove it Thumbs Up

I’ve just changed the aircon condenser and it’s nearly the same job. I am meaning to write it up for others.

Essentially the process is grille off, bumper off, slam panel off (3 bolts either side at the top and 2 either side at the bottom plus unplug a couple of things like horns and bonnet switches) and a couple of screws holing the inter coolers and it comes off really easily. Then front crash bar off 4 bolts either side and some plastic parts and you have access to the 3 radiators - oil cooler, aircon and main radiator.

I never got involved with the radiator connectors so can’t help you there. Current:
