Radiator leak

[paddyj]

Is there a drain plug or anything like that on the bottom of a vn radiator? I have a leak coming directly from the bottom of the radiator on the left hand size where there are no hoses. There is a cover under the radiator that is blocking my view so can't see the bottom of it!

no drain plug, make sure all hoses are tight incase its leaked form some were else

Shit, I have checked all the hoses and there is defo nothing coming out of them! Could it be rusted down there?

mate the side tanks are made of plastic, the core alluminium. if its pissing coolant, you will need a new radiator, you'll pay about 150-200 maybe less, repcos having a sale at the moment. you could get it repaired, but why bother for something you can do yourself so easily?

Didn't realise they were that cheap! Will check out repco, seems pretty simple to change, only a few clips holding it in.
