Evening

Just browsing ebay looking for a rad -

This looks like it has potential to fit nicely....

Anyone ever used one?

Recon it will be up to the job?

So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

We run the early Polo rads upside down as well as the old Golf mk1 rads in our clubman mini's over this side of the pond, works a dream but does require a bit of trimming on the front panel behind the grill to clear the dizzy. Another rad worth considering is the Fiat Uno one, if you can get hold of one as it has a built in catch tank and fits really well too. Alos allows you to clear up the bulkhead a bit by not having to use an overflow tank.

Life is always a matter of opinion and quite frankly, no ones opinion really matters.

looks a bit big imo
the mk1 golf rad is about perfect as said above, my rad is an MG TF unit and if you look up the sizes of these two it will give you an idea what fits

all though i will say my radiator was a little too big,

Yes i moved to the darkside *happy*
