If i get a new radiator is it as easy as plug and play or will i have to drain change any connecting parts? Mine looks like shite.
Thanks,

The work is easy.
Of course you have to crack the cooling system open, but all you have to touch is the waterpump drain plug and the two hose connections on the rad.
The fan is easy to switch over to the new rad.
I found the hardest task being freeing up the hoses from the barbs on the rad.
Once they are "unstuck" they are fairly easy to pop off, and coolant works well.
The aluminum is so thin it's very easy to make a mess of the barbs if you get heavy handed.
