Well, it's almost springtime so it's probably time to do a coolant change on the Volvo. I've got the B280F so from what I read from the FAQ, this is especially important! I plan on yanking the lower rad hose and flushing out the radiator that way but I believe that it is an original radiator and I don't know of anywhere to get a replacement for the B280F. None of the boneyards around here to my knowledge have a 760GLE in which I could snarf a radiator should things go sour. Mainly, my concerns are: how often do people have trouble with the lower port breaking off, would running the hose thru the rad cause leaks with a rad of this age, and where can I get a spare rad for my car?

Thanks a lot!
