Radiator fitment
Howdy
As per my last post i have now picked up a radiator for £70. After unpacking it i have realised how bloody huge it is.
Has anyone fitted one (My94) and whats the best advice to give. I take it the front splitter has to come off, rather than try to pull it up and out ?
Any advice would be aprreciated.

No need to take the splitter off. Disconnect fan/s, remove radiator hoses from top & bottom, undo the two bolts holding the rad at the front and it should pull up easily. The bottom rubber mountings may come off with old rad, put them on the new rad, put fan/s on new rad and follow the steps backwords.
