As of 1.19 experimental, damaged and badly damaged car radiators (Completely full of water) only last you about 1-2 minutes (depending on how fast you drive) until all the water in the radiator is consumed. After that, the car engine immediately begins to degrade in quality, giving you roughly 3 minutes total until your vehicle is completely destroyed.

Fixing cars in DayZ is a very time consuming process that can sometimes last hours, and finding the necessary parts to fix a vehicle is can be extremely hard at times.

I propose two ideas:

1. Add the ability to repair car radiators

2. Decrease the amount of water that a damaged/badly damaged car radiator consumes
