I have a MY99 classic which has a leak, everything points to the rad. ordering a new one, have had some shocking fitted prices, anything from £180 upwards (+ VAT of course).

Standard rad is only £80. does not look too difficult, but was wondering if anyone has done it before, and how straight forward it is? Unless i have it all wrong and i'm better of handing over £200 +.

Any advise?

very easy job,there are two bolts at the top holding it in,it sits on mounting holes on the bottom,undo hoses and remove it.Do not forget two fan plugs also at the bottom.

Thanks steviecrump.

Done now very easy job, and i'm no mechanic. had to move the power steering cooling pipe out the way (NOT disconnect, just undone the brackets, made removel a lot easier). Also taking out the right hand fan first, mad acess to the left fan connector easier.

But very quick and easy job i think just 2 spanners (10 and 13mm)
