Has anyone used radweld to fix tiny holes in there radiators and pipework. My radiator runs out of water a lot but it has been tested and there is no major holes. My grandad uses radweld in his car and swears by it but i cant see how it will work in my nakered old banger

dont use it, if you are loosing water and its not coming out of rad or heater matrix, then headgasket is gone and its coming out of exhaust
Radweld is a 'get you home' fix, I would not use is long term as it will gum up your waterpump, block up your rad - I speak from bitter experience!
If you are loosing that much water I would get the system pressure tested, chances are that unless you have an obvious sign of water someone on the outside of the system you have a head gasket on the way out.
A quick pressure test of the cylinders would let you know if the head gasket was on its way...........

Weve just had a new exhaust fitted to it and there was no water leaking. Id say we have to fill the radiator up every 2 months or so. It was all tested on its MOT last year and we questioned this problem and we were told it was fine and it was just leaking through tiny holes. We were also told that because the engine isnt covered or something its using more water to cool itself. argh i dunno im a girl who learned computers at college, i havent got a clue about cars.
