gc8 radiator replace
hi guy's i'm looking for some advice, i just bought a radiator and hoses as mine is shot, i got quoted £80 at the local garage to fit but at this time of year £80 is best off in my pocket.
How easy is the job to do myself?

it's easier than you thought, just let the coolant out, then top and bottom hose off, disconnect hose from fill bottle next to battery, and fans attachment off the radiator, then finally the radiator should be able to pull out of the slots.

As above, no need to bleed, nor really any way to do so, just fill carefully and slowly via a funnel down the rearmost hose off the expansion tank, don't let it gurgle, and then run it with the cap off until it purges the air.
Before replacing the rad, take off the upper and lower barackets, treat to two coats of Hammerite, then replace all bolts with stainless.
