Noticed a couple of drops of coolant on the undertray the other day.Investigation by Paul Muller and myself determined a leak from the lower passenger's side corner.Went to Mcgraths on Friday,they pressure tested it on the spot,and ordered a new one.Had it fitted today and ready by 2pm.
Nice to have a good result from a dealer rather than the usual complaints.
Cheers

Yeah Len I've had mine replaced now as well :confused: Anyone else? Along with the two oxygen sensors, least we're getting our moneys worth from the warranty :)

never realised a leaking radiator was a common problem :?

Guess that comes down to your definition of the word 'common'. We've had what ... three / four on here? I think we've had a lot more with gearbox faults and turbo bolt faults.

Mt car will be 2 yrs old next month (no ... no party) and really the only thing I'll have had done under warranty is the aircon compressor changed.

Yeah I wouldn't call it common either. I reckon you'll also get a higher concentration of problems here on the forum based on mods and track days and hard driven cruises.

Hoyhoy.
All I've had is a split in a small vacuum hose & thats it.
But as of now, I have that many mods it doesn't matter any more.

haha I'm in the same boat.

The only warranty I'd have is on interior pieces and paint I'd say. :cool:

If something breaks something better will replace it.

Nothing wrong with my paint. Just stating that engine warranty is out the window.
