Just bought a hose that goes from the swirl pot to the rad but on my car (2000 450) the connector on the rad is on the bottom of the rad not the top, all others I've seen are on the top so obviously the hose doesnt fit. Have I got an uprated/wrong rad in my car?

My 2000 400 Chim has still got the original rad in it.

The near side rad connection is at the top and straight.
The off side rad connection is at the bottom and bent.

On mine the near side is at the bottom and has a Z shaped hose which, if straightened out, is about 45cm long going to the swirl pot.

My 400 is original for sure, maybe the 450 is different, not sure why it would be mind you?

You might find some underbonnet photos in the classifieds?
