Hi,

I've got a leaking plastic top tank and would love to know if anyones had any experience with repairers and any recommendations. It's a slow leak so I'm not panicking.

Cheers.

get it checked out thoroughly you dont want to have a dodgy radiator,the last thing you want is to spring a serious leak..if the hose connection blows off for example it is amazing how fast the temp goes up if you have virtually no coolant,you have to stop immediately,which may not be easy (ie fast lane in the middle of winter on a rainy windy night.......)
