Has anyone got any clue if this is normal or not, Noticed when I parked up that car was hissing from the front near the light


Any help would be appreciated.

 

soinds like a radiator leak

 

Expensive fix?

 

no idea mate, probably pick up a second hand rad for Ł30? soumds like a rad leak but no steam or dluid leak anywhere

 

drop a bottle of rad leak fixer in it first and see if it cures it

 

Why would you do that. There are little pumps to pressurize your coolantsystem. Any ford garage will have it and can check in 10 min or its leaking and where.

Rad leak fixer is gonna go through the whole system

 

Was a bad leak at the top of the rad, Ł120 for part and labour, not too bad I think

 

Well done for coming back and telling people what it was - That way we can all learn!
Thanks, John

 

its a key component so if faulty replacing it is the only way

 

Yeah completely agree, I did ask if it would be possible to maybe replace just that part of the radiator but I needed the whole unit, He said he could put in something like Rad Weld but there's no point if I'm after keeping the car for a long time as that would eventually block all the pipes up
