after reading all this, can you clarify what van and engine we are talking about here?

[squire]

its a 1900cc water cooled engine, i've put about 5 litres of water in today and as expected it all sprayed out of the front vent. I've took the grill off and it has blown the radiator. The teeth that wrap around the radiator have blown at the bottom corner.
Does anyone know where I can purchase a radiator local to Manchester....i'm hoping G.S.F.. I realise that once I replace this that I may also have to do the Head Gasket, but its one step at a time.
What is perplexing me is how the radiator actually fits in, it appears like its put in at the bottom from where the spare wheel goes but its 'green horners' educated guess

Your 'greenhorn guess' is correct

There are 2 brackets at the bottom of the rad that hold it in place

It's not too bad of a job to replace, as i've done mine recently and it will come out without jacking the vehicle up
