HELP !! Radiator recommendations 2010 Elise R Series 3

[carspath]

Hi All ,

I noticed the engine coolant temp go up to 97C , so turned the engine off and moments later found a stream of coolant coming from the nether regions of the car .

Coolant continued to pour out for the next 3-5 minutes .

Car was transported by the AA without turning on the engine .


The car is a Naturally aspirated 189 BHP Elise R , but a little unusually its a Series 3 car


1) What replacement radiator would you recommend ?

2) Where can I source a replacement radiator?

3) What coolant should I use ?

4) What other work should I look at getting done while the front clam is off ?
( Is it possible to replace the radiator without taking the front clam off ?)

5) Maybe its not the radiator at all - maybe a hose - where would you source radiator hoses ?

6) For my knowledge ( hopefully the Lotus trained mechanic will already know !! ) where can i find out how the front clam is removed and replaced

Thanks for your advice

Eliseparts for the rad and SELOC/techwiki for the clam removal guides

There may be better resources...
