SE Rad removal.

[TVRleigh]

turned out a little harder that I 1st thought.
Also not a good idea do to on your own.

Also the rad will not come out with the side brackets on.

1. Remove pods.
2. remove hoses.
3. remove fan and housing, (leave the big housing) this will just fit out the top.
4. remove 4 bolts on the pods (these are a pain on your own)
5. remove the side brackets on the rad. as will not come out with them fitted.
6. the rad will now drop out the bottom.

it gets stuck a little of the front lower spliter (if fitted.)
but you can prize it past.

did not help one of the bolts would not come un-done, and I had to remove the hole light motor bracket. and gride the head of the bolt.

Also help if you take the bonnet off, not easy either on your own.

Also not good to not slip of a stuck nut inside the pod, as it makes a big mess of your wrist.

Also make sure the rad is very empty before taking the bottom hose off, when under the car.

Took mine off without removing the pods or side brackets although I have removed a bit of fibre glass to ease out the bottom hose pipe. Can do it quite quickly now.

The 350 type comes out the bottom without taking the pods out too. The side brackets had to come out mind. Only 4 bolts to take the spoiler off

Well with the SE you can't remove the front spoiler, so takes a bit longer.
