I was wondering if most guys use the radiator and fan from the donor.
If not what size and brand do you use
I have been told by our importer that the focus radiator doesn't fight to well

The radiator from a 1.8 or 2.0 litre won't fit. I bought a new 1.6 radiator, fits perfectly. As for the fan, a 14 inch fan is about the biggest you can fit on this radiator. Most go for the Ford radiator as it built for this with the fitting brackets but It's easy just to put a couple Of extension bars on and fit something else. There are some builds with Renault clio radiators.

1.6 rad fits nicely as it's narrow enough to squeeze in. Wouldn't recommend the standard fan, it's rubbish, but it will do at a pinch if you're just using it for road use, (at UK temperatures anyway). If you're looking at more serious use though, like trackdays, you'll need to do a bit more to keep it cool.
