Cool cheers guys. GSF have them for around £40 so im guessing it will cost under £100 with VAT and the coolant :smiley:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

upto now you've been learning how to pass the test, soon as thats over you'll learn how to drive.

changed my rad at the weekend, to actually fit the parts, perhaps half an hour at most, to bleed and fill, 10 mins...

just remember to plumb the rad in on the bottom hose, fill the rad up with mix (50/50) and then plump the top hoses in, saves time pi$$ing about afterwards.

have fun!


noble tuned - and still not fast enough!

tip for you, take the grille out then remove the 4 bolts holding the 2 air shrouds to the radiator, its not easy to get the rad out otherwise!
