I've got a clio rad in mine, same size, but angled lower pipe means it can sit better with fewer connecting pipes

no room for fan? very strange......

before you do anything (e.g. changing rad) please post a pic of the actual arrangement.

ususally there is lots of space on a 2B for a fan.

you can mount the fan directly on the core of the rad...no matter front (nosecone) or rear (engine)...you only need to take care to buy the correct one (suck or blow).
