Land Rover 90 Radiator Leak Issue

Tmo · Mar 20, 2013

Hi All,

I have a radiator that has a tiny pin hole leak on one of the channels that goes across the radiator to carry the water, is there a good way of repairing radiators yourself as the hole is the same size as the end of a biro pen or is it a throw away job and start again?

Many thanks

Get some milliput from the model shop, mix some and work it into the rad to covet the hole, repair should be about the size of a five pence piece when done.

Shoved a screwdriver though mine and repaired it like this lasted four years and still going strong

I used some liquid steel - you know that glue stuff that you mix together. I just put a blob on the hole, did not even bother emptying the rad and it worked a treat for the last few years with no leaks.
