hi all
can anyone help me remove my rad? i have removed the spare wheel and there is 2 bars that hold on the spare wheel cover but they are in the road of the rad. how do i remove these?

thanks

remove the whole wheel carrier by taking off the little clips on the ends of the wires and sliding them out of the hinge points, once the wheel carrier is offf the wires rotate and unhook from the chassis at the front

Like aiden says BUT mine were seized in solid as they'd probably never been removed.

A good soak in penetrating oil and a tap with a thin drift popped them out eventually. Take a pic before you remove them so you get them back the right way. Plus be v careful not to lose the clips off the end. Buggers to find on the floorif they spring off. LOL

I gave up removing my rad as I couldn't undo the same bars, the problem was the fan was not running, but the reason it was not running was simply because the earth points behind the glove box had corroded, a blast with wd40 and a wipe over sorted out my problems.
