    Best get a custom one made up, the pace ones (they're are what Courtney sell) are pretty useless as the ore rad is too small and the heat exchanger is not efficient enough.

    a bigger header tank will buy you time, but not solve the problem. if anything it may make it worse, as you now have more hot water to cool down.

    without knowing the temperatures you wont know whether the cooler or the radiator is the right size.

    The rad is the right size it's the Same size as the radiator I'm.gonna.replumb my.water pipes and move my tank out of the bay and water injection installed should sort my problem

    fill the header tank full of ice and hope for the best??

    trouble with the Nova is space, what about going all out and running a massive radiator in the boot?

    Fiat cinquecento rad is a good one to use and decent exchanger. The header tank doesn't really matter if you get these right
