Right, got a rad off a breaker in kent. It seems they've sent me a rad for a non turbo diesel where as I wanted a turbo one..... The difference is that one is about 2 inches shorter. Now...can I get away with the non turbo?

Well, had a closer look (ie took it out its wrapping) and the bloody inlet/outlet are on the opposite side to my TD one, so without flipping it and reversing it , it aint gonna bloody work! Not happy now! |

And now the non turbo diesel rads...i've got both of em out on the grass outside, both laying front side down with the 'lugs' or whatever you call em that position the rad in the little holes in the bottom frame the same way up on both and the inlets/outlets are on different sides. So either they made them differently or this rad they've sent me was fitted wrongly. |

Yeah, exactly like the one they sent me...they've asked for pictures of my rad....but honestly...how hard can it be? Motorworld have said they can get one same day, so might just get one from there. |
