Is that rad of a sport with aircon? I've used a non aircon 1.4 rad on my xe and its perfect

Yes that is a 16v rad, like you've said it needs to be 8v jobbie, which has that tail on the side, not on a angle like yours.

im sure ive heard people using the 12v top hose to cure this?

Basicly im using a 16v rad and a jsp hose kit (exactly the same as roose or any of them) but the top hose wont fit atall. Do i have to use a 8v rad? Cant get the bloody thing to fit. People have said they use a 16v rad and the same hose im using but it just ends up twisted and out of shape.

Ill post a pic in a mo
