Mark what type was it? And how did it fail?

I saw it at Unit4 when the clam was off before and thought that's handy, he won't have to worry about his radiator failing!

Hi Dean - Like you I did not think that was going to need attending to for few years yet!

It was the 'motorsport' upgrade alloy radiator Triple bypass 2ZZ ( according to the receipt ) fitted by Lotus dealer Bell & Colvill in Jan 2011.

I won't know exactly the what has happened until Gav gets the clam off.

Symptom - Driving home from Gav's when I heard a 'pop' and got coolant all over the windscreen!

Dean - I have asked Gav to fit the standard Elise parts alloy radiator - not the Triple bypass after this experience.

Maybe its just a hose. Would be a lot cheaper. One failed on mine and I fitted an Eliseparts silicon replacement. Maybe worth fitting them anyway if you have the clam off.
