Normal Polo Rad would be fine.

Search the mighty Ebay and suppliers often have the dimensions of the product they are selling

Either the smaller polo radiator or the small Honda civic radiator. The honda one you can get a alloy racing one for about £75 on eBay. The Honda one is taller and slim where the polo one is wide and short. Both very similar dimensions.

Yeah that's the one. Just be aware it's fairly tall so check it'll fit inside your nosecone first

be aware that only a specific polo radiator is able to do the job!!

there are different ones exsiting...even they look same on 1st view, they arent the same.

book locost is fitted with escort-style radiator....a thicker (3 core) one should do the job for your zetec.
