my 2.0 redtop is over heating, there is a small drip of water coming from the 1.2 rad but it over heats very quickly if i dont put the heaters on full blast. so i suppose my question is, is the 1.2 rad big enough? what are my options?

1 more thing with it being a 1.2 but having a 2.0 engine what clutch cable do i use?

cheers for any advice:

Is that a kiss? ^^

I've got the exact same problem mate. The fan's buggered on mine, gonna be wiring it up to a switch soon. Does yours stay cool if you're driving at decent speeds though? ie - motorway driving.
