Just had a very productive day fitting a new radiator and fans to my 'yellow plastic box'. The fan had seized solid and was hanging down at the back. Used the pdf guide from the forum, which turned out to be excellent. I didn't need to jack the car up and removed the wheel arch liners by turning the wheels to full lock. One addition I would add to the guide, would be to have an electric or air powered file, as this makes it much easier to remove any seized screws. The radiator I used was from Coolex in Nottingham, and I also took the opportunity to fit mesh over the heater inlets and fit an upgraded towing post from Dave Hardwick which I painted black to hide it from view through the grill. To anyone attempting to replace the radiator or remove the front clam, it's not a particularly difficult job as long as you have basic diy knowledge, take your time and follow the excellent guides on the forum. One tip would be to put the bolts you remove in separate labeled bags. Makes it easier during re assembly. Also you can mark bigger locating bolts with an indelible pen before you take them out Another good idea is to take pictures on your mobile as you go along for reference.
