Ive got a front mouted mk1 Metro rad.
And this was the water sender that came off the rad.
Is there something missing ? as whoever has one will know that when you clip it in, it dont seem to steardy. i only have to tap it a little for it to start leaking ... just dont seem right.. micky mouse crap if u ask me...
Any ideas. or where i can get new one. as i cant find one anywhere.

The sender in the radiator is to start the electric cooling fan.

Have you tried turning that rubber seal around on the sensor?

i dont use mine but its a bit of a shit to seal, we stuck some wire under the clip to pack it out a bit so it put a bit more pressure on the seal, ghetto engineering *wink*

rubber is the wrong way around... changed my sisters the other week, it had a black ring to hold it in and it was tricky to get the bottom lug pushed in..and should be very tight with the new rubber.

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Yea it was the wrong way round.. i just pushed the rubber thing in first, then went from there... all seems good. i hope :)
