thanks for that - i think a new one would be sufficient - is there an easy way of seeing which connector i have without getting under the car?gnrlee wrote: jonv wrote: as above - decent 2nd hand one would be great. any 6 radiator should fit but you need to know what you bottom hose connection is? there are 2! and if your gona get another radiator i'd get a nissens one like this one!

from mid phase2 they were the metal clip type, if you are unsure just buy a new bottom hose for about £22+vat, comes with new o-ring.the linky is for the very early type. you want this type http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSENS-Radiator-PEUGEOT-306-2-0-GTI-XU10J4RS-96-97-/310334733525?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4841643cd5 ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

few small tips!if you go for the later push in type with a retaining clip use some silicon sealant around the metal bathroom silicone from wilco should suffice, before pushing it in it makes for a much better seal! and gently roll the pipe in mini circles as you massage it in to stop the O-Ring from twisting and not creating a good enough seal! and to fit it's much easier if you remove the headlight/grille/Slam panel,..  ________________________________________ Proud Member of the ASTOR Owners Club |

no need for any sealant, just a new o-ring.bathroom stuff is probably the worst stuff to use too. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

I got new O-Ring went in fine,. eventually  dripped like a mo-fo!used sealant Job Jobbed! not a problem since! ________________________________________ Proud Member of the ASTOR Owners Club |

I'd just do as WP suggested. Buy a new pipe and do them together.For the price of the pipe it's good piece of mind that it will seal well. ________________________________________  |

ive got a nearly new nissens rad which is in very good condition but ive poked four holes through the fins to mount a slimline fan to it. Makes no operational difference just might look alarming. £75 posted. plus i have a nearly new pug bottom hose to go with it if you want £10 so £85 all in.Ive only ever used a bit of moly grease on the bottom joint as it gets rusted shut otherwise which makes removing an old rad a total b**ch without cutting bottom hose off. |
