So the Isuzu MU Wizard has a busted radiator. I tried sealing it with high temperature silicone and it worked for a while. However, the silicone kept coming off because of the dirt. I never bothered to do a through cleaning of the crack.
Anyway, I had the radiator removed last week and the Wizard has been sitting idle at the car park. I wanted to inspect it and find a more permanent solution. Below are pictures of the radiator.

The crack is along the top tank and I could use some epoxy glue to hold it. However, I am not too sure it will last. Hence, I have gone ahead to find a new replacement. Unfortunately, that has not been too easy or cheap.
A new radiator imported from Australia will cost me around K800 plus freight and shipping of around K600. In total that is around K1400.

None of the local radiator shops I have approached have provided any positive feedback with this either.
Anyway, I am leaving for my recreational leave soon so I will have to continue this when I return in a couple of months.
