My car was overheating the othernight, thermostat I thought, but then to my horror the next day after the engine had cooled, there was no water whatsoever in there... i poured in about 3 litres then saw it was trickling out on the bottom right of the rad on the back element...

it's an autozam az-3...

is there anything I can do to fix it... or does it need an entirely new rad?!?

*cries*

Yea um. There is the cheap way which doesn't work to good and the problem comes back again anyways or replace the new radiator which is the right way. You can probably use jb weld to fix the leak but I would just get the radiator. they only cost $150 from your local autozone.

$150 for a new radiator? Will that be an autozam one, or will a stock mazda mx-3 1.6 one fit on the 1.5 mountings etc?

If so, I'll do that, I'm just terrified I'm going to have to import an autozam one from japan for like £1000 :S

REALLY cheap way: crack an egg into your radiator

haha saw that on mythbusters...
