I topped up the coolant yesterday as I have done ever since I bought it. I knew there was a leek somewhere. drove the car to work today after it's been sat all week after its little trip away last weekend and at lunchtime noticed this

There was a wet patch on the floor underneath. Had a look at what was behind that rubber flap and that was all wet too right near the bottom hose. I had been wondering if it was the hose or the rad or something different that was leaking. Opening up the bonnet and climbing up I could see that along the off side facing the driver under the fan cowling there is an inch wide wet patch along the fins all the way to the top as far as I could see anyway

I assume there's no connection up the top there so this must mean the radiator is leaking and not something else? I was going to get a new radiator anyway in the near future so not a problem.
Question: when I stuck the part numbers (from milners) into amayama it comes up with this
Whats the difference between the two rads as the cheaper one is heavier than the lighter more costly one? There's only a fiver in it but want to order the correct one. I assume it's new thermostat and water pump at the same time?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge![:) :)](/custom/images/smilies/pack2/icon_e_smile.gif)
