Heaters are for wimps.

Rather than change the bottom hose, i'm just gonna put a bung in it and a hose clamp to make sure it doesn't pop out.

Clubby heater core fits nice right next to the dizzy, even on a roundy.
Gives a Cooper S the cooling it deserves. 8)

Well, i took a long lunch today so i could go buy some 3mm plate and a brass plug for the radiator hose. Should knock up the blanking plate tomorrow.

I've never had cooling issues with my mini, even during summer. If i do, i'll look into the auxilary radiator idea.
