2005 1.6hdi
After over a year of having a slight leak in my radiator all of a sudden it's gotten worse and i've had to buy one.
Is it relatively simple to change one yourself?
I need a guide or a walkthrough if anyone has one?
Cheers

it's the simplest thing you can ever do by yourself,nothing tricky in it,straight forward job,but don't forget to bleed the coolant system when you are done.

Yes they are the ones that hold the top of the radiator in place.
