Steaming

[jas1]

Evening people, right after topping up the coolant in the e4 today I was sitting at some traffic lights and noticed steam coming from the bonnet vent. Upon closer examination I saw that I was losing water from a little pin prick hole just under the coolant pipe. What I need to know is how easy is it to change a radiator in one of these cars? Many thanks

Very easy...
Drain coolant.
Remove top and bottom hose.
Remove overflow pipe.
Unplug fan connections.
Remove 4 bolts holding top brackets to radiator.
Lift out...

Right, have just ordered a full alloy rad, and have just been told that I need to get the right anti freeze/coolant. Can any members point me in the right direction on this please.
