Battery and Radiator

Has anyone used the original bike radiator in their cars or is it recommended to use a small car radiator, like a micra as so many people do (which mk. micra is best?)

Do the original baterries suffice when using a bike engine in a car due to the increased load on the electrical system, ie. extra lights?

MK 1 micras are best, the MK2 is a bit tall. Bike ones are ok, but its hard to find a flat one, as most are curved (harder to mount) the other thing is cost, Micra rads can be had for a tenner or less, bike ones are £50ish second hand.
