I noticed when I got the car on motorway journeys, it would heat up quickly and the fan would be coming on non stop. I checked
out the condition of the radiator and found it to be pretty skank! I decided I would swap it, as a course of action, it will run
better, be more efficient, and have more power (yes its true) and if I want a 1.8 it'll need more cooling than a 1.4
I ordered a radiator, that arrived that afternoon and cost �50 delivered to the door. Not bad at all. Getting the old radiator out
is a piece of piss, swapping all the bits across is a piece of piss, putting the new one in is a piece of piss. What isn't a
piece of piss, is bleeding the cooling system. I have a method for anyone having difficulty, took some work that did.
