Depending where the hole is could you not put a blob of weld on the outside to fix it??

Rhys

its right at the top of the Rad, piss easy to get to and its only a small spray!! fooking thing! was thinking of chucking rad weld in it! but i dunno about that as it will gunk up the rest of the engine etc.

How 'bout Araldite. It works wonders if you get the area dead clean.

pinch the hole with a pair of pliers, clean all the paint off and solder it up with a flame type torch!!! Job Done!!

Less.

Bad luck Rhys owuld say get a pushbike but you would probaly buckle the wheels on it.

No sorry for your run of bad luck m8

Rhys

How do you put this stuff to the hole?

Same thing with this how to put it on the Rad!! the hole is Very small and is near the top of the rad the a Very fine jet of water that comes out of it! so hopfully it can be repared with out taking rad of etc?

well make the hole abit bigger if you want and mix the resign up roughen the area with a bit of sand paper and apply it over the whole.

Couple of Eggs in the system. Free range seem to work best. Make sure the engines cold when you drop them in then run it for 10 mins then turn it off and let it cool down. Leave it for as many hours as you can whilst the Yolks harden and it'll be fine.

Why does nobody ever just buy an Oil filter strap for a fiver
