Anyone done this before?

Even better, tell them to go for air coolled, just get rid of the rad all together :/

pikey get you home rad fixes.

Kseal

get plires and bend back and crush the leacking tube.

mix up a big dollop of body filler and really work it into the leacking area.

egg white is an old old trick that dose sort of work,  i'll seal weeps and small holes splits in low pressue systems, but if K seal won't fix it egg white has no chance. 

btw radweld is crap and rarely works

Egg white does work, but only with small leaks.
I've always found radweld to work fine.

Hi I've heard of people doing this but even if it did work would probably knacker the radiator and god knows what else. I had an astra g sri with a leaky rad, and put kweld in it job done available from motorist discount if you have one.

One more suggestion tell him to do what I did sell the punto for scrap and buy a gti 

My bad I meant k seal not weld   thanks Danny_p

rad weld is horrible stuff... I lost a heater matrix and a water pump to that sh!t

if you HAVE to use any pikey stuff like this then use WYNNS RADIATOR STOP LEAK

or simply just replace the radiator yourself?

Its all the same stuff.
Any coolant leak fix is supposed to be used ONCE.
The problem becomes when people keep putting it in(or previous owners have), that's when the problems start.
