Is there anyway i can repair my radiator leak,
this is the 2nd radiator i have had in 2 weeks and this one leaks in the middle, tried a bottle of radiweld but it still has a small leak so the car overheats..
apart from buying a new one are there any good ways to repair it??
was thinking if i found the leak can i block it somehow??

Buy a new one, about Ԛ£100 from GSF.
I'd never put that radweld in my car, all those grainy bits floating around the cooling system

a new rad is the answer, I wouldn't put radiator leak repairer either, haven't heard any good feedback from these...

If you take it to a radiator specialist they should be able to repair it.
I had a hole in a rad in a dodge dart i had (lead lamp unclipped itself from the bonnet with the engine running, wrapped itself around the fan and smacked the rad
) I got it repaired for about Ԛ£20!
