I may be stating the obvious here.
But have you guys tried tilting the rad ? I had probs with the bottom hose (Polo rad) So pushed the bottom of the rad out to get clearence on the hose.

I used a Mk 2 Polo radiator, and it fitted vertically quite nicely. Managed to plumb it up using the original Sierra hoses, and some bits of metal pipe.
I have attached a link to the one I bought below. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VOLKSWAGEN-POL...item5d287995b8 Price was quite resonable I thought for a brand new rad. I have also attached a pic to show you what it looked like fitted. Cheers Gus |

Gus,
Cheers for the link, I am going to get one of them when I get home tonight, before the whole forum starts buying them and the price goes up. Cheers Graham

If your going to mount it on end, make sure you header tank is way above the rad's inlet/outlet and idealy fitted with a level warning..
Otherwise, if the water drops too low the water may not pump out of the outlet, and also the thermo switch may be high and dry... TT

After seeing Gus's picture I went out after lunch ready to get stuck into re-mounting that rad. Go to use the welder just to find that the wire speed is stuck on full volume once again So, spent the afternoon pulling that lot apart .... All fine again now .... The damp enviroment of the worksop affects a potentiometer on the main PCB. Let's hope it goes on for another couple of years before I have to strip it again
