You need to get one that the hoses Mach up to they all do the same job what nova is it if it's a 1.2 or a 1.0 then get a gte radiator but you must also have the radiator fan if you don't havo one that fits on the radiator then you will have to buy a fan for the radiator haswel hope this helps gaz:thumb:

The best one to go for is the petrol 1.6 rad [GTE/GSi] as it has a core of 528 x 268 x 22 mm. I've heard people using smaller engine rads which have a slightly smaller core in terms of height i.e. 528 x 208 x 22 mm these will do the job but if you are gonna buy one then go for the larger to make it that bit more efficient.

The 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.6 petrol rad hose points should match ok with the petrol engines. IIRC the diesel and 1.0 had different outlets.
