Changing Radiator - Bumper off ?

[Silky]

Does the front bumper need to come off when changing the radiator ?

If not, then is it an easy in and out job or is there anything in the way, fans etc ?

Nope, drain it, whip the pipes off and unhook it. Took 20 mins.

I'm having my cambelt, tensioner, rollers, waterpump changed on Saturday morning. Was tempted to change the rad for a Nissens one at the same time

Pretty easy job really providing all goes well. Did it twice on my civic cant imagine it will be much harder on a saxo

it really is this easy and pretty straight forward.

just remember to bleed the system when refilling your coolant.

Anyone recommend a certain coolant ?
