    i got a Nissens aluminium one the other week, and so far so good. very solid bit of kit in comparison to an OEM once i'd ordered previously.

    Nissens all the way, brilliant pieces of kit.

    I have one on my car and it's a fantastic rad. Yes

    Good to see another SW member, you will need to double check you have the correct bottom hose as per this FAQ

    Yes, as long as you have the later style bottom hose with the metal spring clip it will fit straight on.

    If you don't have it, the pipe itself is only around £20 from Pug and easy to change. Yes
