Ok so I've got a new Radiator just needs to be fitted, thinking of doing it tomorrow but what I need to know is...

do I need to strip the front end off?.

Or

Do I just unbolt the two bolts at the top and disconnect the two hoses at the top and one at the bottom and it slides out?.

Little help please guys

Unbolts and lifts straight up, just make sure you disconnect the fan seem plenty forget and pull the rad up and ruin the connector on the fan

changed mine earlier this year, think there was just two mounting brackets on the top, and two rubbers on the bottom securing pins, thats it.. i have the 1.5td isuzu engine and had a lot of trouble with clearance on mine, had to move the power steering reservoir out the way as well

Ok so stripped the rad and the one I've had off of one of the lads is different to the one that's on it. One on car has two plugs the other one has one plug, so what are these for as I can only plug the grey one in

Prob aircon or somthing just tape it up

After all that it turns out it's the wrong f**k radiator so had to put the original back In, had to remove the aircon pump, the rail, and re powder steering pump to get it out.

So two hours wasted...not happy!.
