Sorry onebob, posting pictures is far to technical for me

This is the exact reason I want to replace my radiator. I've fixed two issues with the plastic tank so far, the screw that was too long and now i've snapped the overflow pipe off. I have got myself a barb i might be able to use to fix it, but i go off road a lot and need it to be reliable.
If i understand you correctly, to fit this alloy radiator i will need to modify it? By the sounds of it, there is a outlet that is on the incorrect side and i'll need to block it off and relocate it to the other side?
HI Jazzman
Mine is an auto.The outlets are on the correct side,it is the 2 smaller outlets on the bottom drivers side that need modifying.I fixed the broken overflow outlet by using a piece of 5mm steel brake line as a internal sleeve and glued it in with jb weld.It has traveled a full circuit around oz and I have just come back from a trip to the gulf without any issues.

Shane, the D2A Rads are different than the original D2 rads. See this bullitan, it shows the later rad has the bottom 2 pipes blocked. Are those alloy ones open or closed at the bottom?
Cheers Mario
see attached PDF it shows the modified version used on the D2A.

The alloy ones are both open,only one needs complete blocking off, the other is restricted.If you look carefully at the bulletin you posted you will notice that pipe D has a small hole. It is the only one of the two that has hose connected in the 2a

I had to pull it all out to replace the air con condenser and the old one looked good so I refitted it .There was nothing wrong with the alloy one it is now a spare

My d2 is an manual 1999 td5, so do I have to blocked anything or modify the bracket for the oil cooler?
Also any other modification needed to fit it in?
Thanks
