As this car has decided to slowly bleed my wallet dry I need to know if this is the right radiator hope this works

I'm after the one with the wire clip on the bottom hose. From reading on here I assume you all think Nissens is the on to go for.

Just done the cylinder head etc then the starter and got it going today to find that the seam in the reservoir has split when it was overheating. Don't know how but there you go. It's funny how all the problems come in dribs and drabs.If I knew what the total cost was going to be then I would of thought twice about it.

Thanks for that. Just as a matter of interest, why is there such a great difference in price between radiators. I notice that the EIS ones are about £50 cheaper. Are they that different in performance?

Nissens are aluminium and generally regarded as a better part.

Also, the engine seems to run slightly cooler with this rad fitted. Cool
