Mike737 Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Hayne's manual? Be worth it in the long run if you are going to do the mechanics on it yourself. Or perhaps try some K seal or Barrs Leaks before going to the expense of replacement? Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl_h Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Have a search on one of the fiesta owners club forums for a how to. Most probable is bumper off (fixings in the wheel arch and across the slam panel) then disconnect hoses top/bottom unbolt and remove rad, you sometimes have to drop the plastic tray underneath the engine and lower it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewi76 Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 There's a cross member under the rad you have to remove it and drop the rad down to get it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren m Posted May 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 There's a cross member under the rad you have to remove it and drop the rad down to get it out thanks I,ll have a look , its so close to the ground I couldn't even get my head under the front valance. guess I,ll have to raise it up. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny thomas Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 All done from underneath quite straight forward as I recall haven't done one in ages so it can't be that hard or I would remember /have scars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
