On matramagic page this was written, and I quote. "The Murena radiator is similar to the Citroen Visa - except that its fitted upside down and has the core of from another car" In the past moths I readed so many items, and in one of the items sombody fitted this radiator. Can't find it back, but he told he had to make adjustments to fit the ventilator. The holes to mount were different. Also the French forum has this in the alternative parts section. I also looked at pics of the C15\Visa radiator, and you need the petrol version, not the diesel one. Pffff, took some time to spit trough all my images, but this is a Murena original one. The fan is fitted different and see it upside down to compare. Maybe it is possible to mount the fan from a diesel one. It has 2 fans in a frame. edit: picture added

For me this is still all theoratical, because have not worked yet on the system. I studied the item as far info was found, because I want to be prepaired if the system fail. For instance I know that there are immitation metal radiators for the Visa around €100. The radiator is upside down and if there is a outlet for overpressure, (NB:think you meaned that), it is on the wrong side. If the radiar is metal this can't be a problem to put one on. It is about the same size, so the level wil be ok, if mounted right.

I've got a heater from the car we took apart not long ago... Whether it's any good I don't know, but if you like I can ship it to the UK at your cost. You can then pay me for the unit if it's works Regards, Valdemar After replacing the rad, water pump and many new hoses the engine suddenly performed so much better unsuprisingly. I now need to watch the speed easily reaching 90mph on the motorway. However the new flow of water found a new exit. Through the heater, leaking onto the passenger carpet. Tempory solved by disconecting the heater and joining the hoses in the front bay.
I have had conflicting advice to solve this. Either reconnect the heater and put in Rad Weld or similar. Or take out heater and take to a rad specialist to fix.
Does a rad weld type product 'gunk up' the cooling loop? Bearing in mind I now have a nearly new system this would not be my prefered choice. However I have also been reliably advised that these products are fine, and indeed help with lubricating the water pump.
Any thoughts?
