mini boo, the extra rad was a bit of a quick fix, but it worked really well. cowboy and i just tie wrapped a heater matrix to the front grill, on the inside that is, connected the heater take off hose on the left of the head to the matrix, and the other end of the matrix onto the heater hose. cowboy recommended connecting it to the other side of the heater so the hot water heated your car first then got cooled before being returned to the engine, this should work as well, and i will change it over if the heater in the car doesn't get hot enough in the winter, will try and get a pic for you.

Sounds like what I have done with my Van, plumbed in a Heater matrix as a secondary rad, thats cooled by air flow only.
