right hand side as you look at bumper...that could only be the PAS cooler rails

could i get them from scrappy or is it best to buy new

[Piggy]

second hand...im sure someone on here breaking a car will have on...

be silly money new.

just when you get it...clean it up and paint with stonechip paint to protect it

ok cheers does the whole front end have to come off to change it

[Piggy]

Dont think so

you can access it from underneath quite easily. it could just be a loose hose rather than a broken pump, i had the same on my car turned out just to be a loose clip on the hose.

you don't want to ignore it though, it makes an almighty mess if the hose pops off if your driving

^^^^ err he said right hand side as you look at it.. pump is on left...

so Im assuming its on the bend on the cooler pipes or near the bend?!

oh yeah, should probably read threads in more detail before replying haha

the leak is on right hand side of what looks to be like in front of the radiator
