any one know what i need to remove to get the rad out as it's no1 on the agenda tomorrow

[rustym95]

pair of pliers to remove the two clips on the rad, and pipe clips, then lift out.

plyers for metal clips, got an auto? need to remove oil cooler pipes, as well as normal cooling pipes

[Andy H]

I think I removed the multi-rams and fan from behind the rad and unscrewed the A/C condenser on the front.

Was about 7 years ago though so memory a little hazy :-/

No need to touch the A/C condensor when replacing/removing the main radiator

No bag pipes can stay, all the bolts / access you need is to the left and right. They won't get in the way
