RUToyota Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 No...nowt to do with land rover.!...but today (after 1 year of ownership. :rolleyes:) I decided to inspect my radiator more closely. Never had any coolant issues at all whilst I've had it and I'd assumed (dangerous) that it was still the original rad..but on checking it looks in way too good a condition for it to be a 12 year old rad...a quick dust off revealed a shiny black side casings and the fins look shiny and brand new.....there's no mention of a replacement in the service history booklet.(which was Toyota main dealer up to 50k miles)..or any past invoice to support a replacement (hence my assumption of it being original)...but I'm well happy.! Hopefully it's a potential issue I can now put aside for a while. Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUToyota Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Fate. Tempted? Yep...did think the same...but then I thought...xxxx it..I'll take the risk ....I thought the rad was doing well but had factored in a replacement as and when...so if it buggers up now I'm no worse off..!

ViViTation Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Good news indeed. It's a fiddly job according to my mechanic who replaced my rad last October. Getting rid of the air pockets seemed to be the main hassle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
