Cheers for the messages. Went to scrappy today, and got a radiator today for £25. I've fitted it (only two bolts!) and works like a dream.

Good idea, but the bit where it connects is a kind of plastic material, as it just snapped off. So i don't think you can weld to it. :(

Hey, I think i may need a new radiator for my 1992. From my thread from a few weeks ago and replaced a radiator hose, as the last one had a slit in it. K10http://micra.org.uk/showthread.php?t=21505 Since the fix the engine has been a little cool, but no problems. Then today driving...

Right job done!! Jack'd up the front of the car, left the car running. While the engine was heating up, i undone the radiator cap, and filled the raditor with water, up untill you can see it. Then i started to move and squeeze the pipes mentioned above, and saw bubbles coming up through the...

Is it possible for the thermostat is die if it has been running on hot much? Cause i will check my thermostat soon. Mirca 110 cheers for the pictures and advice, will be following it shortly. I did loosen the right pipe in the first picture, but no air was present. In the second picture, i...

Cool, will try. Design fault i reckon, i guess it's easily fixed, by getting tumble dryer tubing and re-routing the air?!??

Im trying to bleed the air out of the system, but not 100% sure on how to do it. , as this might be the problem? Is there no airlock tap, or which is the best pipe to loosen and try? Ta :) Im trying to bleed the air out of the system, but not 100% sure on how to do it. , as this might be the...

No heat from the heaters on the windscreen. Water pump was changed from about a year ago. Fan doesn't spin at all. Though i believe now there is no leaks.

Well i fitted the raditor hose, got one from Halfrauds (HFH205). Still over heating to max on the dial :( I now get a rattle from somewhere drivers side, when ever i accelerate and only when i accelerate. I went to release some air from the system, by loosening the pipe a little and...

Cheers for the info mate.

Cheers. Its the one that enters the top right corner of the radiator, 'S' shaped one. Not sure if it's in or out. I don't want to take it off just yet, as air will get into the system before i have got the replacement part.

My radiator hose has a crack in it, which sprays coolant mixture all over the engine bay, which produces a nice (!) smell. Does anyone know the diameter of the radiator hose so i can replace it, as a search provides nothing, and Haynes doesn't mention it. I need this so i know which hose...

thanks for this, sorry to bump an old thread, but i have a question. My friend told me i need to replace the rocker cover rubber gasket and seals? Is this right i f i just want to adjust my valve clearances? Where would i get these parts from? Thanks for any info. ref: k10 94k.

cheers guys. Im almost 100% certain its the water pump, because before each journey, i fill the coolant level up to MAX and the temperature will stay low, and only creep back up when half the coolant has leaked out! hehe Also the hot air is back to normal now too. Maybe because the engine was...

I know for certain that it hasn't been changed within a few years. Do they check it when it's serviced? If not, it hasn't been checked for at least 2 years. It definitely is the anti freeze mixture, as it has a blue tint to it. How much do you reckon it would cost to replace and fit? How...
