Radiator and Hoses

[Tiger]

You are gonna need alot more than just the radiator and hoses. Good chance your head gasket/valve head is warped... you need to check this out before spending money.

It can be the famous waterpump problem that failed on you too.

You may well be buggered mate, if it's got to the point where it's blown something you may well have toasted the head and gasket >: (

If it's an M20 12v you maaaay be lucky though... gonna be a hard one this as you cant test it without spending money first.

Try www.eurocarparts.com and www.gsfcarparts.com they've got branches all over the country.

Head Gasket is OK (no foam), what i did discover was that the rad was filled with radweld or some other crap which i think was dislodged by the overheating .....waterpump you say....oh well!
