yeah, ill get a garage to look at it, probably maximum, it had a service less that 5,000kms ago, but ill probably get another service done same time/once this is fixed just to double check everything is 100%

Im thinking ill try get an alloy one - because its cheaper than a genuine, will look cool =) and will hopefully be stronger than this crimped steel over plastic thing - anybody bought any aftermarket radiators before? Ive heard of a couple off people's radiators leaking where the are joined - but they've always put one similar to factory back on?

ill cheek all the prices/spec of everything before i buy anything, but i would like to get this fixed relatively soonish.

China spec alloy rad. Ebay $200 landed.

Mines been going for near on 3 years now. Just make sure to use Genuine Subaru Coolant.

I am liking this

time to start looking.
(and another piss off, we drove up the street and back before to check if the radiator would leak, and somehow got a puncture, jesus)
