New Radiator
After putting up over a period of time with the temperature gauge telling me all sorts of things either towing or on the flat , changed the thermostat, water pump, flushed the radiator etc.. the radiator finally sprung a tiny leak on the motor side.
Not a problem , just take it to the radiator man and get if repaired simple , will $750 or 286 pounds later a new radiator!! ah yes the only one available in the country is a "Nissan", and the Mistral has to have a heavy duty aluminum radiator. This could have been fixed with resin but no guarantee and the thoughts of being in the out blocks with a stuffed radiators ummm no. A big difference in everything since the new radiator, running much cooler etc.. The old radiator was completely stuffed inside, yet looked brand new from the outside. If you are having over heating problems could be the core on it's way out. |
