Need to invest in a new rad, is the one at ECP any good? More importantly fit right?!
Thanks

No replies, guess I am the first to use a ECP rad.
Don't buy one, they're 12mm wider that the Renault one. Although it doesn't seem much, it caused a problem with the fan. The core is the same thickness as OEM, its the sheet metal surround as it creates a ledge, the fan cowl gets stuck on this. We got the fan in by shaving the fan cowl. Right PITA - good job I've been looking at slimline fans.
Get a new OEM rad or good second hand one (or go polo rad, I'm sure that would be less of a ballache)
