couldn't be bothered editing post.

Anyone got measurements and know how hard it is to fit a vitara radiator into the sierra? I believe it is a alloy rad with the plastic top.

cheers

Just had a 4" split in the top plastic tank on my Vit :bad-words: Lucky I found before I went away into the High Country.

I had a plastic tank explode hot green water in my face, I wasn't happy for a long time after that.... so my biased view is forget plastic tanks, or make sure they are in real good nick ...christover :crazyeyes:
