oh and is there any problem with just topping the reservoir up until i can get the rad replaced?

Bought a new rad today and have the workshop manual so will be fixing it tomorrow hopefully.

Some pictures in case anyone wants a look.

Good luck with the install. Nice car and cool English neighborhood. Very different essence than my stomping grounds.

Thanks, got the workshop manual to tell me how to get the bumper off but after that im on my own as there doesnt seem to be a section on the remove or fitting of the rad's, still, cant be that hard, few bolts and hoses.

Welcome to my world. :ah:

Strap yourself in good and tight. You're in for one heck of a maintenance ride in the coming months. Old boxsters like ours fall apart when they cross that 100k mile threshold.

I thought I was done a while back and then had to replace all four wheel bearings. They're actually a cheap part, but require many hours per corner to replace and special tools to pull them off the drive shafts.

Great who knows what i'll need, rear brake discs at some point this year.
