radiator adaptors

came in to let you know what I found when I took my rad off but you sorted..

Just put my new rad in my 200Tdi tonight connected everything up then got to the oil inlet/outlet connectors only to stumble on this very same problem!

I've just ran out side to undo the adapters off my old rad but they won't budge. :doh:

Any other suggestions as this is my only & everyday transport so I need it back on the road asap. Has anyone else experienced this?

I do have the advantage of only being a couple of miles away from both Paddocks & DLS but I didn't buy the radiator from either place...

if the old rad is buggered - then lots of whellie
