No major problem, is it a bumper off job? Slot in from underneath? Remove rad completely? Any tips?

Cheers frayz

 

get your car on a ramp....take out the radiator.....from then its childs play...


good luck

 

cheers mate

any other tips?

 

which make rs500 cooler is it?

do you have aircon?

 

Its a Pace one, (would prefer a radtec or pro alloy one but i got it for a good price!!)
No mate, no air con on mine. Ive ordered new gromnets and hardware from ford so it goes on with new fasteners.

Can i just push the rad back towards the engine and slot the cooler infront or will i not have enough room to get the feed pipes over the top?

Is it a definate "rad out" job? Not that its a problem, im just a slacker and cant really be arsed to take it out

I will if it needs it

Thanks for your help bud

 

You still not done that yet

 

damm things been sitting in my room for ages,

im a slacker mate i know

 

take the rad out...much easier then........

 

How will this bolt up? already some mounting points for the cooler? and will the rad bolt back in the same place? if not, then where?

 

The mounting points for the cooler are infront of the mounting points for the radiator. You will need the same type of bolts and rubber bushes that are used for the radiator to mount the new intercooler which im sure pro alloy sell as a pack or just go to a scrap yard and get from there. Take out the radiator, fit the new intercooler and then re-fit the radiator back in it original place. Its not that hard realy once you get started.

 

Ah I see. Was asking that Q as I was thinking of getting a Saff.. but am on the hunt for a 3door instead now.
