Well I was quite surprised when I pulled the old radiator from the 'Turbo, it turns out that it was quite well rusted:

The holes were poked with a screwdriver just to give you an idea of how rusty it was!
I didn't realise the radiator metal was silver, I thought it was black when new! How wrong was I:

I thought replacing the rad was a relatively easy job, I would say it was about 2/3rds as hard as a cambelt for comparison, although it is my first radiator job.

How did you bleed it?
Then I bled some more out to put the antifreeze in. But I think I didn't get all the air out because I went to get some more antifreeze and then pour it in and the water level seems to have dropped all by itself and I'm certain there are no leaks because I ran it whilst the front end was off to check
So somehow it appears to have self bled itself! Suits me, although I can't see how that's possible if the bleed valves are shut.
