I just got back from 4hrs of 4Wding, When I pulled up in the driveway there was some water dripping from underneath the car, I had had the A/C going but it was dripping from near the radiator, suer enough the front left lower control arm bottom hose and all down the side of the radiator was wet with coolant.
F**K!!!!!!
I know the plastic radiators do have a life span of around 9-Years give or take. Mine is going on 8 years now, The crack is where the top Radiator bracket is connected to the radiator has anybody else had there radiator crack around that aria.
What I am trying to figure out is, Is this a resalt of age or from the running ruff tracks over the last 2 years and all the vibration fatiguing the bracket causing it to crack where it is fused to the side of the radiator tank?
