Not too bad. Stopped at craft centre and on the way. Think the race with the m3 convertible caused it to over heat in chester! Oooops. ?

Hi Sam..welcome. I have a CAT E1 which now also looks like it needs a new rad. Can you advise which one is best? If Tiger alloy, do they also supply hoses?

Jesus Paul is there anything left that's original on your car?
Do you think you will be going to Donnington next weekend?

Ha! Yes..one way or another, by kitcar, Boxster, or broomstick, Donnington is still on. Remember the leak at the Firth Bridge...we thought it was a hose?? It wasn't.... Still got the engine, box, and rear axle left of the original car.....

Paul, the Tiger alloy one is a straight replacement, Polo rad is a lot cheaper but you have to alter the hoses from what I've heard, think there's quite a few polo rad threads on the TOC forum
