Pull off hoses at bottom, catching old coolant for safe disposal.
Remove top hose. Remove plastic rivets holding fan shroud, lift shroud and park it back on the fan.
Remove radiator top support bar.
Lift old radiator out, remove and fit coolant tank to new radiator if not complete with it.
Drop in new radiator, making sure bottom rubbers are in place, replace all the bits that were removed and slowly fill with coolant, bleeding through the screws provided on the top outlet pipe of the engine and the radiator.
