Hiya - sorry for the delay in replying - been on holiday

Yes - the Rad you see in the photo is the only one cooling the engine. Temp is fine - tends to stick around 90-95°c. I've re-set the ECU so it cuts the fan in around 95°c but this only seems to happen on hot days and when stuck in traffic - on the open road then it doesn't cut in much at all.

WOW! I've got a Ghia and would love to have the rear wheel well room you do to be able to do that!

What are the physical dimensions of your radiator?

I'd have thought a Ghia would have more room in the rear arch? but then i've never looked at one with a rear radiator in mind to know exactly. My mate has a '58 Ghia so i will have a nose at it next time i am over there. I know he had problems getting his Boxster rims under the arches.

My Rad is 300 x 300 x 65 mm. I can't remember if it is a triple core or 4 core matrix.

Cheers
