well I can honestly say that was one of the easier radiators I've had to change. I was expecting much complication and heartache but it was entirely straightforward. So far no leaks from disturbed gubbins and I took the cheeky opportunity to give the old girl a quick service whilst it was in bits, all in all a 100% sucessful mission

And as a bit of tragic evidence to it's untimely demise....



Strangely the expanding pool of coolant that started this adventure was coming out from the other side of the car to the leak!
