    On holiday in wales, rad seems to be leaking from the bottom(from the look of it theres slight damage to the bottom rad fins). Aint got my tools to swap it out. Can anyone make a suggestion for anything to seal it up for the motorway trip home?

    57quid from euro parts for a new rad prob 10quid from scrappers. not got a clue how its got to this stage think it might be stones bin thrown up from cars in front on shitty 1 track b roads or just the age of the rad. had to add another bottle of rad weld today but all seems to be ok for the moment.
