radiator sizes
I'm going to struggle to find somewhere to mount an expansion bottle, silly as that sounds... but BMWs have the expansion bottle built in to the
radiator.
perfect 
will a radiator off a E30 318i work? will it cool properly?
i've got (a broken) one in the garage, looks a bit small, but would be ok to fit.
does anyone know the dimensions of the radiators out a 320 or a 325 E30?

Must try harder

is that off a 1.1 polo or something about that size? i guess the 318 radiator might work ok then. since the expansion bottle's built in, its
even better

Does the expansion tank not need to be the highest point in the cooling system?
Because o the very nature of thelocostshpe this would be impossible to achieve with a built in one.
