I always carry self-amalgamating tape in my tool kit and it has gotten me out of a few jams. Obviously extreme care needs to be taken when dealing with a hot radiator and any repairs need to be left until it is cold.

However, setting radiators to one side, as a tape it can be very useful as a temporary fix and is worth investigating if you aren't aware of it and how it can be used.

Back to radiators, it is a shame to read that some Morgan cars are still suffering from this problem. Have the factory mentioned how they will approach this issue when cars are outside of warranty?

Simon, while it seems wise to wait till the rad is cold in most circumstances, provided the pressure cap(s) are left off and the collant level is below the level of the leak, when using an epoxy or even cataloy to fix a leaking rad, whatever heat might be left in the system can speed up the hardening process to some degree, which can be handy in a roadside repair situation.... Assuming Morganeers may still attempt roadside repairs, as opposed to relying on breakdown services...?
