We test classic vehicle radiators to diagnose the radiator problem.

Visual checks provide further information
Based on the test results, the following options are considered for resolving radiator faults.
Repair:
-
Filler neck repairs
-
Small leaks in a copper and brass core repairs
-
Top and bottom tank repairs
Recore / Rebuild:
-
Fit a new copper and brass core, which is repairable if future damage is sustained
-
Fit an upgraded core to improve efficiency
-
Fit a tinned core, where possible, which increases longevity
Build:

Build a new copper and brass replacement radiator, which is repairable if future damage occurs. Usually replaces an aluminium radiator, which is non-repairable.

Give us a ring to speak with an experienced person regarding your radiator problem. In the majority of cases it will be suggested that your radiator is brought in to one of our workshops to enable our repairers to pressure test and flow test it. You can either bring the radiator in to our workshop personally, or we can arrange for a courier to pick it up on your behalf.
Sometimes a simple issue can be resolved over the phone.
Test results, along with a visual inspection, will ensure that you are given an accurate diagnosis of the problem and the various options available to resolve the issue.
Decision time, and we appreciate that time, finances and longevity are important considerations when deciding on how you would like your radiator problem to be resolved.
