My Zero rad is from a Cortina or Capri

Now that's interesting. On a completely unrelated issue, I just went searching for a radiator for the Exmo at the weekend. My friendly local motor factor searched through his catalogue for a rad with suitable dimensions, and came up with a Polo 1.9 diesel rad from the mid-90's (also fitted to Seat Alhambra, apparently). I'm going to be fitting it over the coming days in an effort to up the cooling capacity a little.

 

Maybe it would suit the zero too?

enigine is a 2 litre DOHC 8v from sierra with VW "ball" expansion tank so no need for rad cap on rad

That looks very much like the 1.9 Polo diesel rad but with what presumably is an expansion/breather take-off on the top of the rad. I'll snap some pics of mine in a sec - fitted it this evening and its working a lot better than the old one.

[ZeroKnowledge]

yes it has an expansion/breather take-off on the top of the rad, same side as other outlets

[brumster]

Here you go; suspect it's very similar - maybe the 1900 SDi Polo didn't use the take-off....
