Cheers dude.
In have read up about the Frontera one, did look big but have seen others use it. Not sure how effective it'd be with a snowplough, so I thought I'd try something a bit more compact. I know it may be a task to fit but have to try.
If it goes t*ts up then it only cost £12 and now that it's clean I'd get more for it probably lol
That intercooler is a bad move IMO. Too small & hard to actually fit infront of the rad. I used to have a BMW 5 series intercooler which would've been ideal for you, but couldnt flog it so binned it. doh!
We'll see how good/bad it will be. It can handle power (ok not major power maybe upto 250BHP) but for the time being that is much more than I'm looking for. It may be awkward but I'll find a way to fit it. If not then I'll buy something else.
UPDATE
Haven't done any work on the Nova for a few days as the weather has been rubbish. It was still rubbish today but I couldn't just sit at home and do nothing. So I thought I'd risk it.
I wanted to finish off the gearbox so I could prepare it for paint. Really didn't like the inside all greasy and full of crud, so I decided to get that and the inspection plate sorted.

^^Inspection plate full of crap, sprayed degreaser on it to loosen the oil/grease.
The cleaning was going well, even though it was taking a lot of elbow grease to shift all of that gunk. As I continued cleaning the inside area, I went to scrape off what looked like a dollop of grease. On further inspection it was rock hard... tapped it with a screw driver and it sounded hollow. Decided to investigate further, top part of this foreign matter seemed to have a gap bewteen it and the metal. I put the screw driver in between it and prised it open.
Here's what I found

This really pissed me off!
Now I dunno what I should do with it, attempt a repair or use it as spares? Would a repair be possible or would it be risky? I'm guessing, from looking at the location of the hole that the only problem is fluid leakage and guess that it wouldn't impede the operation of the box as long as it was repaired and sealed well.
What would cause that to happen anyway?
Once I saw that, I gave up and went indoors and I'm still not in very good mood :mad:
Get it welded over...
Was thinking that, any other method to plug it would be a bodge (like it was)
This was what was plugging it
