is there a bigger rad that will fit on a vtr 8v runing hot at 80 mph on m54 to day.

no but your could be knakerd.dont forget tho mate its been a hot day so ya engine will be hotter than usual.

could be because its hot, but at speed the red light should not come on should it!! saxo's all ways run hot but never seen it that hot on the move.

my saxo doesnt run hot.

Sounds like somethings fucked and running it into the red light your running serious risks of of warping the head.

Yes the diesel rad and vts rad will fit with some modding but thats not going to solve your problem, it may hide it for a little while bu thats it.

mk2 vtrs's have bigger rad's than the mk1's.

mines running hot at the mo, think im gonna have to get an enclosed induction kit, my engine was running very hot for about a week just after i bough my car, then the rad went, maybe this could be about to happen to u, hopw not tho, for your sake!

yeah sounds like it is on its way out as it shouldnt be running that hot. mines had a vts conversion and i still use the vtr rad, which is very small, i have a vts one ready to go in but cant get the fans anywhere.
