Dakar Radiator Leak

[Silver Shadow]

So on Friday I noticed some coolant dripping from the side of the radiator, not good.

So I prayed all the way home from Rosebank to Centurion for the temp light not to come on.

Today I stripped out the radiator and noticed it was worn through by the fan cowling.

I phoned BMW and they want R5 000 for a new one. When I recovered from that shock I made anothe plan.

I got some epoxy glue and fixed it myself. I will also be putting some silicone on the cowling to add as a rubber piece between the radiator and the cowling.

Here is some photos.
