First Desert Adventure and my leaking Radiator

[VCO]

This was my first trip and I really enjoyed it (even scared a few times but it was really fun)

My Disco was quite good except the overheating problem on my way back

We stopped anc checked the coolant level and found out that there is non

I have checked everything 2 days back but engine was hot so skipped coolant

I learnt my lesson DOUBLE check everything before you go

Luckly I was keeping 4 lt of coolant ( just in case), and after I filled the coolant temp went back to normal right away

Today I got under the car and found out that there is a leak in left bottom of my radiator so 8 lt of coolant has been leaked since last maintenance ( 3 weeks ago)

So wants the best solution is it possible to fix or should I just replace it

I'm not an expert but radiatir seems to be really old rusty etc so any idea about the cost of a new one ?

Thanks

If radiator is old and rusty, its better time to change to new radiator. First leak or starting of leak (weeping style) is an indication of aging radiator.

It cost around 500 -600 dhs from Gulf star in sharjah who sells original fit radiator from Dolphin. That may be good to go for next 4-5 years, as its not same like original quality that last for 10 years. But quarter price is good for old vehicle owners. I got mine for 2002 RR for 550 for radiator and 100 for thermostat.
