Just got back from picking up my radiator and not sure it's right? It's a radiator all ok. But can't see the cooler inside. Is this normal that I can't see the cooler because it's built inside it. It's got a top rad hose, bottom rad hose and a hole on the side that something goes in? I'm assuming that's got the cooler pipe?

you should have 2 small holes to fit the oil cooler pipe in. If you look at the rad from the front (as if its installed) then 1 cooler hole is behind and down the bottom to the left. The other is passenger side and at the top.

before you take it apart i would get 2 new securing clips from the dealer,
to refit the oil cooler pipes back to the rad as they tend to corrode badly,then fall apart when you try and refit them,and you dont want the oil pipe falling off while your driving as it will meen the end of the engine.
