Hi all, first post so go easy on me,
I’m in Surrey, England, I’ve had my 80 series around 10 years and love it,
I thought I should share what happened today to warn others.
Part of my radiator came loose, got sucked into the fan and thrown back into the radiator creating a substantial leak. I’ve stripped it down waiting for a new radiator to arrive. Above is the photo showing the metal strap across the radiator, it looks like the rivet on the end gave out and the fan just sucked it in. I don’t know if it’s an original radiator but worth checking if yours has this strap and whether it’s fixed solidly.
