mattlaw Koss put the tools away, and step away from the vehicle, I'll help you out at weekend

How am I supposed to break the next bit of the car if I don't replace the latest thing that's gone wrong? Big Grin
Rad hasn't arrived yet anyway and I'm going to Oktoberfest next weekend.

Phil - an increase in radiator surface area will help the rad cool water faster/more efficiently so it shouldn't need to switch the fans on as often and general water temp should be a bit lower. Doesn't really matter, I just don't see the point in replacing like for like when I can stick a better one on for less money than an OEM one.

right, killed it completely tonight so I've finally got round to ordering the new one. Should be here on Friday so I'll try and remember to post some photos of the swap.
