Re: 3 hours labour quoted for fitting new radiator,

I've done it today. Wasn't to bad a job. Bleeding always worried me but no leaks and good temp reading seems to mean all is in order. Would definitely not pay someone to do. I just read wiki and a good thread on brick yard followed that no jacking involved.

Re: cutting the front bumper section away...??

Hehe. Some people are so stroppy. I think the van in the link looks quite cool. Would I do it. No. Can it be done safely. If mm says yes then it can.....creep.
