#1: Really Rattley Radiator Author: Debz, Location: Cardiff, South WalesPosted: Fri Sep 23, 2011 11:38 pm ---- Hi Guys
Not sure if its a common problem, or maybe im missing a bolt or something, but my radiator will not stop rattling when Im taking off. I did think it was the Pipeacross filter, so cable tied that down, but its still doing it. Should I just try and just cable tie that down to lol ??? Or just get a man to look at it lol???
Cheers

Are you sure it's your radiator? My fan used to do this but would only rattle when it turned on. Changed fan problem solved

I will double check the fan in case tho.
Thank You x
