As long as it isn't the one out of my tintop it will be fine

Seriously though, they fit quite nicely into the nosecones IIRC a little bit smaller than the Polo ones...

what does iirc mean?

if I remember correctly.

What Micra is it out of. Looks totally different to mine (early 1.0l type).

It doesn't look like anything like my early micra rad either.

That is a K11 rad, you need a K10 (pre 1993 model - the rusty one!)

I have a K10 in my book car, with a pinto 2.0 and the cooling is right on the limit, the slightest holdup in the traffic, and the temp is soaring. I have never boiled up, but have been sooooooooooo close.

The latest consensus is that a series 2 polo rad is the way to go, but the micra one with a BIG fan may work OK, that is my next mod - I will report my findings
