All the non-genuine rads I've seen come from the same Chinese tooling. The Mahle one just has an expensive sticker on it.

Ramps will be fine and won't affect refilling the ATF

Aha. I have clamps. Will ramp it and I will remove the front bumper - saw a chap on youtube do it.

I did spot a genuine one on tradition but getting it here safely (as MJ mentioned a while back) would be a challenge?

'Budget' radiator it is then.

Thanks guys.
