radiator help needed!
hi all,
I am new to the forum and have a problem with the cooling on my robin hood 2B.my current radiator has the inlet and outlets at the top and the engine
overheats all the time.I want to fit a rad with the inlet at the top and outlet at the bottom to help with proper flow.can any one suggest a suitable
rad to fit in the car.
i have seen a rad in a honda civic that might fit but would value everyones opinion on what would be the best.
thanks in advance,
Dave.

welcome to the forum. Also a polo rad will fit an MK and is a popular choice from reading threads on here.

Hi and Welcome.
Locost rules 
Could you not just turn the current radiator through 90 degrees?
What is the current flow path from inlet to outlet?
It may be the guy who built the car fitted it incorrectly.
If NOT I used a VW Polo radiator.

radiator help needed
thanks everyone 4 your input , i am going to try and turn it 90 degrees as i didnt think it would matter having the hoses at the top as i have seen
many mk indys with this set up but my robin hood has a mind of its own and is a moody wee car . hopefully i can make it smile when i fit the rad
properly
thanks guys and i will let u know how i get on
