It can only go in one way. It slots in the bottom and screws in the top.

A mechanic mate is coming over after work to have a look, maybe he will spot something. I'm confident it's the radiator though!

Hi Bad Co, when I purchased the 110 the bracket was in the cab between the seats it was a fire extinguisher holder bracket it just happened to fit the reservoir unit I cut it to required length did not have to drill holes as the holes that where there fitted the holes in the body work on the mudguard.
I have now fitted a cable tie to the bracket through the retainer hole so it wont accidently come open which could be a major problem if it finds it way near the fan

Nice one, it looks the part.

Hi Bad Co, have you checked the dimension's of your Radiator if so what are they and I will check them against mine & see how they compare.
have you talked to the radiator people?, normally when you have a radiator re cored they use your existing header tanks on the new core so I am thinking that they may have some how mixed up your radiator with some one else's slim possibility .

It's not so much been mixed up, it's just poor workmanship when they reassembled it.

My mechanic mate came over, and to put it simply, he used a bigger hammer then I did.

It's all hooked up, and if you jump on the bonnet it closes, and the bracket looks warped. Still not happy though. Once it is running I'll take it back to the shop and see what they say. Just need to fix a small leak in the HP hose :-D

Good to see you have it all connected and running when you fix the leak can you let us know if you are happy with the results.

Took it for a spin around the house, holy **** its an amazing difference!

I'll take it for a proper drive after dinner, see how it goes.

My radiator seemed a bit bigger after i got it recored. I suspect the dimensions of the new cores may be slightly different.

Hey everyone, time for a bit of a review.

I took it for a longer drive today. The power steering feels really good with low speed manoeuvring, parking etc. But at high speeds it seems a little sloppy and all over the place. I'm not sure if it is the PAS, the tires, just me not used to it or a combination of all three.

When Paultan does his I'll take lots of photos and do a write up.

Thanks everyone for your time and help!

Having a PAS fitted County and armstrong Perentie, I still wouldn't put PAS in my Perentie. Just an opinion but I wouldn't think of it as a crucial upgrade...
