Just looked, they are covered. 
Is the coolant green? Thought mine was red.

If it is the rad there shouldn't be an issue. Just make sure you get it authorised before getting it done. Try & dodge their rules & the will reject the claim, end of. Make sure you've got copy of last service & MOT for them.

Isn't fluorescent green the colour of the oil in the air con? And the water coolant is red/orange.

Let me know when someone does  .
Funnily enough, just been talking about this, and my aircon guy told me the green fluorescent was the air con oil. That gets ejected when you get a leak.

Pipes won't be, but the condenser should be. It is a radiator after all, radiating the heat from the aircon system.
