Anybody done a job on replacing the Radiator (+thermostat), and/or the heater matrix on the VZN185 3.4L ??

Have parts arriving next week and wanted to see if it is a pain in the ass or not, as to whether I sub contract the bother to the local garage or just do it myself

When my expansion bottle is filled up it always seems to blow out a fair bit of it when stopped via the overflow breather ,,,is this normal or a common fault with Surfs as it has always done it, temp gauge moves very slightly but not too much, so no worries on that part, just the hassle of having to...

Hi

I keep hearing of an "Aussie Radiator" option, although am not exactly sure if it's OEM or aftermarket.

Can someone link to it?

Hi

I have a space where the bottom rad for A/C has been removed for some reason by previous owner unless stolen as stone guard missing too?
I have 2 wires or pipes zip tied to the down supports either side of the main radiator that I think connected to it. Is this the power to the old radiator?...

I got my first surf in November and its been love at first sight. I'm not mechanically savvy and I have worried from day one about how I would cope when the time comes for me to lift the hood and fix something for real.

The time has come.

I have noticed some coolant leaking...

Okay, was showing off my A-bar the other day and I noticed the radiator fan started to go at a hell of a rate.
