i bought a valeo radiator from dingbro today. it was picked via reg number so should be correct. however, itis longer than the one i had in it and also the bottom outlet is at a 90 degree bend to the radiator where as my old one was at a 45 degree. so the hose has to be turned and stretched a bit. also, when putting it into the corresponding mounting holes, the inlet at the top is now infront of the battery so the hose doesnt line up.

can anyone shed any light on it?

 

yeah i can, its the wrong one, take it back and get the right one before you start splitting hoses
