If its not to bad, and if you can..... take out the thermostat and refill with water,that way theres no presure and it will take longer for it all to leak out

It did kind of pour out when I turned my engine off It was like pulling the plug. Gonna try some radweld stuff see if it helps till I get home!

How much is a new rad for a S2 then?

Dont use radweld - use wonderweld
fookin brill stuff & clogs up big leaks too without damaging the turbo
It'll cost you about Ł6 for the wonderweld & about Ł70 for a rad
