Glad you can look back on it with relief mate... I am also interested to know if that was a pattern part or genuine.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

I think daveyboy had one break too didn't he? It is odd though, i'v always used aftermarket ones and never had any problems. Although on mine at the moment its genuine ones so once they are trashed I may just re-bush them. That looked dangerous. Think you were lucky whilst being incredibly unlucky. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

Was very lucky i think, but like I said it wouldn't matter so much if was just me in the ecar, but had a passenger..that's the worst thing in my eyes.________________________________________ A red rallye in progress! |

I run genuine wishbones, I did have aftermarket at one point, but they just didn't feel good on the road, and I decided to go to Pug wishbones and fit them with the roller bearing bushes...They were fine from then on.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

I have one genuine on the driverside and a aftermarket on the passenger  Back to the water problem. since i chucked a bottle of rad weld in there it has not lost a drop so may have been a tiny split in a pipe or something. ________________________________________ A red rallye in progress! |

Or the rad weld has sealed up the space around the HG where it was failing, or blocked up the leak on the heater matrix. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

The problem with radweld is, it does mess stuff up eventually.Personallly I would never use the stuff and rather find the faulty part and replace it. It has been known to block heater matrixs in the past etc... However, if it's solved your issues then great. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Then my next one will be a rad but i am not doing the matrix myself for sure you do have some bad luck! did u use the liquid based rad weld or the crumbs? the new liquid based one doesn't cause to much blockade as made to prevent that. but really like stan said needs to be rectified! new heater rad and rad sounds good to me ________________________________________ TEAM ASTOR GTi 6SNAP-ON SUBARU SOON NOT TO BE TEAM DIABLO MEREDIAN (for sale) |
