dannybooth Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 I've developed a minor leak in the radiator on my Rev3 250CC it trickles coolant which I keep topped up but when the engineis running the evaporation becomes quite heavy. Can radiators be patched up by a trials shop or am I gonna have to fork out for a new one? If it is a new radiator are they easy to fit?

stork955 Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Gday, take it to your local car radiator repair place. They would be your best bet. Cheers, Stork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybooth Posted March 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Ta mate. I take it you can patch them up then if the leaks in the right place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stork955 Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Gday, yeah -sometimes. It depends where they are leaking. Apparently the tanks are sealed with a big O ring and they are a drama to re crimp but leaks at hose fittings etc are fixable. Take it in and let the guys there have a look, they will soon let you know if it will repair. It may well be much cheaper than a new one.

dannybooth Posted March 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Yeah up in yorkshire though. Taken it up to Brittania Cooling up in Morley, they seem pretty switched on, I'll .have to watch this space on the price but no doubt it'll be cheaper than a new one. Prices are on parts are a nightmare at the minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
