Cooling system
Can anyone tell me if i would suffer more cooling problems with an unlevel rad like this. Also does anyone know what rad it is , and would i be better
off with a different rad , if so which one. Cheers.

I can't see your picture, but according to a recent article in PPC the most efficient angle for a radiator is 20 degrees from vertical.

Left to right shouldn't make any difference. IMO.
The radiator looks like one from a Micra.

It's a Micra rad. Don't see any problems with it being slightly slanted to one side.
Thanks...

I agree... if you're wanting to use the filler as a filler or bleed point then it needs to be higher than the hose.
I've just ditched my Micra rad for a Polo one.... 32mm inlets in different positions matched the Pinto much better.
Cheers,
