Is it dangerous to keep driving with a leaking radiator?

Yes, ongoing coolant loss risks overheating and serious engine damage — repair before continuing to drive any significant distance.

Can a leaking radiator be repaired instead of replaced?

A small core leak can sometimes be sealed with a specialist repair or stop-leak product as a temporary fix, but replacement is the reliable long-term solution.

What is the radiator made of?

An aluminium core with plastic end tanks on most modern vehicles, or all-metal construction on older designs.

I ordered a Heater Blower Motor Resistor for a Toyota Avensis. Delivery took eight days from Latvia to Ireland. I installed it, and everything works perfectly. I wish this company success.

No complaints about Evro Trans itself, everything's fine. But the delivery..... It felt like the order was being carried by turtles. 4 days from Riga to Daugavpils. Judging by the tracking, the parcel just sat somewhere behind a shed for 3 days, then they found it and delivered it the next day. I think that's why I won't be ordering there again.

Bought a front fender for my car. I liked it! After payment they sent more than 20 photos of the problem areas, and it was packed very securely - took a while to unwrap.
