Laguna Heater

Try here and do a search for radiator

Thanks for the tip but the radiator is ok, but I did do a search for 'heater' and found that the heater matrix could be faulty. Any one have any idea how much it will cost to replace ? Is it a easy job, or a garage job. A 2 hour job in a garage usually ends up a whole day job if I do it. I can't find any workshop manuals for a 98 Laguna. Haynes don't do them.

This any help?

Nip over to Ebay, there are loads of them

Thanks very much to you both. Each time I have asked I have always been told they don't exist. Never thought about Ebay. Time to start bidding !

If you're lucky it'll be an airlock not any major problem. Dunno anything about Lagunas specifically though, except that like all Renaults spares cost twice as much as anybody elses.

... and go wrong three times as often.

The cooling system was one of several things that I had to fix in my Laguna - the thermostat was stuck open, one of the bleed screws was missing, the expansion tank was cracked ("shur'ead gasket mate" observed one mechanic, wrongly) and the radiator was leaking. A new thermostat, new old expansion tank, an M6 galvanised bolt and some instant gasket followed by a cooling system flush and refill later and it was sorted, leaving me free to work on all its other little quirks.
