Not a bad looking car and a potential cheapy too. Must be worth a go for someone?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Radweld is the spawn of satan. It will ruin the engine, and cause utter chaos!

I've just stripped a 405 1.9TD that had been radwelded, and the sludge from it was everywhere... what a horrific mess. Never ever ever ever ever use radweld!

Just shove a secondhand rad in it!

Better, but I still wouldn't put it anywhere near an engine I own!

Apparently, Glycol coolant aready has a degree of "stopleakness" in it, and adding to it will only cause problems.
