But 10's have a smaller rolling radius which means the car can get up to speed quicker :P

Not by much bud!! I mean there is a difference, but a Weeney bit! And Ian it depends! If you can afford 10s do it but if not banded 13s for hellasick look

Any MPI owner looking to replace their manky rad - £40 new, had mine in for a week and works perfect, top quality ;-) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MINI-1275-MPI-RADIATOR-1997-2001-/321063457921?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4ac0df9481

Yeah might aswell mate for that price! Was thinking of getting an alloy one from china but its £90 I could do better off spending on something else

Whats your coolant like, clean or muddy and rusty? With my old rad, every time I drained and refilled the system it went rusty and brown after like 50 miles, so flushed the heater core and new rad and its still lovely and blue after 1000 miles :)

Errm like clear atm mate, had a new waterpump and expansion tank installed which I think helped a lot as before it was rusty brown colour and the temp would get near hot when in traffic. But I would ideally like an alloy 4 core one from china as theyre only 100 quid and will cool the engine more efficiently
