Not posted for a while because everythings been running brilliantly, (I even took it on 150 mile round trip ).
However, the radiator has decided it wants to be a water feature and has developed a hole about halfway up in the front of the cooling fins, giving the impression of that peeing statue in Brussels.
I've had a quick peep in the dreaded Haynes and they mention getting a radiator soldered.
Being a cheap wad, this sounds brilliant! However, is it still possible to get done/do.
I'd much rather do this then spend £80 odd quid on a new one and was wondering if any of you fine fellows knew of such a thing.

I was going to take the whole thing out and do it in the garage. I suppose it might be a case of "nothing ventured, nothing gained".
I have all the gear necessary, but probably not the skill.
I've just found a cheap one on flea bay though, so that may be an option.

Unbelievable Slob, you've saved me a fortune and a right pain in the 'arris !

£1.99 for a tube of araldite from the Post Office and job done. I've had it up to working temp and if anything, the stuff seems to get harder.

Bloody marvellous!

Sorry MHM, I thought that was metal stuff. However, thankyou one and all, you've got me out of the doodoo with Mrs. T. She thought I was going to have to spend even more "on that bloody heap!"
