Basicly im using a 16v rad and a jsp hose kit (exactly the same as roose or any of them) but the top hose wont fit atall. Do i have to use a 8v rad? Cant get the bloody thing to fit. People have said they use a 16v rad and the same hose im using but it just ends up twisted and out of shape.

Ill post a pic in a mo

Yes that is a 16v rad, like you've said it needs to be 8v jobbie, which has that tail on the side, not on a angle like yours.
