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

If your not sure get a mechanic to look at it, but before you do check everything's tight. 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

Ye I had a quick look under the bonnet when checking the air filter, and the radiator did feel lose, and when something rattles it does feel like its the whole front of the car, its hard to explain unless u hear/feel it. I will double check the fan in case tho.
Thank You x

Jack the front end of the car up and drive it whilst someone is looking in the bonnet...that way you'll be able to cancel out that the engine is doing it....then your are looking for something that moves when you hit bumps.
