Graeme,
Before buying a new radiator get it checked out by your local radiator shop.
They
pressurise them to find leaks. They also can fix them easily. My one turned
out not to be a leak from the radiator but from the pipe joining the radiator.
Can be very deceptive where it is coming from! Only needed tightening the clip.
Cheers,
TIM
