new radiator
i need a new radiator,got a big hole in mine?leaking everywhere.anyway ive seen plenty on flea bay so should be ok?.
however will i need to regass my air con afterwards? as it looks to me that the air con pipes come from the bottom of the rad,any info on how to change or possible problems when changing the radiator would be greatly appreciated.
many thanks.

if you have pipes going into/out of bottom of rad you must have an auto, these is the cooler feed pipes

i think the loop that runs from the left hand side is the air con cooler,so no probs with that,but i have a small pipe that bolted on to the bottom right side as well,dont know what this is,and if i take it off dont know what will gush out?:confused1:
i will give it a go and see haha.
its a manual 2001 sport if this helps.
thanks.

ill try soon,just been reading a bit and it seems you can fit an auto one in a manual,you just dont need the cooler lines for the auto transmission.
if this is the case ill get one as they are a bit cheeper for some reason?
