Hilux/Surf radiator repair or sale around Blenheim?

[Mehrts]

Took the Bitsalux out for a spin yesterday, and today noticed a nice wee pool of green stuff under the front end...

Radiator decided to leak a little up the top just under the top tank. Great timing for that to happen before the club snow trip that's planned for this weekend

Does anyone either have a spare Hilux/Surf radiator lying around that they wouldn't mind parting with?

Or failing that, anywhere in Blenheim that could take a look at it and see if it's repairable. Bit of a bugger as I had it freshened up last year. I'll see if I can take it out of the ute tomorrow and see exactly what's going on.

It's got the cap on the radiator, and both inlet and outlet are on the drivers side

That will be a Rugger radiator then (outlets on driver's side) as I'm pretty sure the top outlet on the hilux radiators is on the passenger's side. I had my old one recored I think the core was the same as a hilux one.

Still running the Hilux radiator, but the inlet was swapped to the right hand side on this one.

I've pulled it out and can see a pin hole in one of the bars right up near the top tank (not the tank itself) on the rear of the radiator, so will see about getting it repaired and maybe pressure tested to make sure nothing is going to let go in the near future
