Damn radiator is back at it.
Heater tap been leaky for a while but just been topping it up every couple of weeks.
The other radiator split today, brilliant :/ just to top it off.... found out the hard way that my alternator is also gone - by the hard way I mean that once I topped up coolant (before I knew about the split) the damn thing wouldn't turn over.
It's all getting sorted today, which is fantastic on the part of RACQ (getting out there and getting me towed quickly) and the guys doing the work - radiator dude in particular (Brisbane Northside Radiators FTW) but I don't think the credit card will like me much lol. Tap is done, off to get alternator atm and radiator later after alt is done and they work out if it's just the tank or the core too.
SIGH
But... at least..... the car should never have another cooling issue again... just about the whole thing been replaced by now lol.

New Heater Tap
New Radiator
New Alternator
2 loads of coolant
-$1000
But at least the damn car works lol... there really isn't anything left to die
Engine itself I'm still convinced is a good one. Always runs well, doesn't use a drop of oil, never really had anything go wrong with the donk, just everything around it fails It's copped alot of abuse too, that's 3 cooling system failures under it's belt now.... and yes I watch for gasket/oil in the radiator and nothing yet
