Will,

Go and see a rad place and they will have a core book with sizes, and a end tank book with sizes, just a matter of finding whatever you need to fit.

Bummer just take the radiator cap off and double check (for bubbles) but it is sounding terminal

no leaking head they did the dye test all well.about 20% blocked said it was fixed drove about 4km and it started spewing out the overflow bottle still running cool.arghhhhhhh the rad guys are scratching their heads.

Postie,

Double check the radiador cap itself

It is unlikely however sometime when that get old the spring will die... if it is stuck up (ie the spring is retracted = up) it will flow straight into the overflow. Start cheep mate, have a look at that spring and replace if needed and see how she goes then.

If not i am still thinking heads, let us know.
