ditchman Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 the white stuff is wax...leave it on.....i think the rubber pointy things are to fix the seal in place...you poke it thro the hole then pull them thro' with pliers until it "pops" into place............

viking Posted September 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 northern radiators came today to pick my leaking radiator up, they rang at dinner time and said i have 2 options, option 1 was they have to re-core it and for a good one the price was £260 plus VAT, option 2 was to use a cheaper core, £180 plus VAT, so i added a 3rd option, a new one from paddocks for £120 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuji Shooter Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 Cool, you can use it now then. My other guess was either the Viking and Ditchie Green Sun Strip ot the Downton Abbey box set but a rad is just as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
