Hi all, I bought my nova 2 years ago with the intention of getting it all sorted out and using it before I'm too old to be driving around in a yellow saloon! I'm hoping to get it up and running this year to attend a few shows, since Ive had the car it's been sat in the garage as my house has swallowed all my money. I did made it to PVS last year (just).

i need a new radiator as my current ones leaking but I'm unsure of what rad I need, it's been converted to a c16xe by the previous owner. I've attached a pic which won't be much help as you cannot see the rad. I it seems to have a nova header tank and a corsa gsi coolant temp switch in the rad, but the corsa gsi radiator doesn't look right?

Chances are it uses a standard Nova radiator - the SR/GTE/GSi ones are the best to go for as they are the biggest.

As above just a standard GSI/GTE rad is fine. ;)

Picked up a 1.6 gsi radiator looks similiar but has these little outlets, assuming for sensor that I don't have?? Can anyone shed any light? Thanks

Its for extra cooling on something I can't quite remember. Auto box? Not sure why a Nova rad would have it though
