Silverton Radiator Broken
Posted: 08 Dec 2016 11:03
Hi All,
I had my radiator flushed and redone about 18 months ago at Silverton in Strydom Park. They picked up that the head gasket was leaking at the time, and charged me R3k+ for the job...
I took about a year to get that issue sorted out and the car has been going well.
This morning the pipe that comes out of the top tank, which seems to be made of plastic snapped off. Luckily I noticed in my driveway. The pipe is totally brittle.
Surely this type of plastic top tank is not suitable for a 4x4 that is going to be used on bumpy and corrugated dirt roads and off road???
Can anyone advise me on where i can get a decent replacement radiator?
Thanks
Bruce
