I has a remote header tank because when used properly off road at all different angles, the normal 2wd rad will leak out of the top filler cap
I think a 2wd rad can be used in a 4wd but not the other way around. Just means you'll have to places to choose filling it from
And make sure its a rad out of a 999cc or 1108cc Panda and not the 769cc's as the rads in them are larger and smaller (769cc smaller than the others) which could lead to overheating

Overheating!!!!!!!!! I wish..
and it was in "On" position all the way to the top
In my opinion 4x4 radiator is bigger than 4x2, becouse in off-road conditions must radiate more heat. Also in on-road driving engine of 4x4 has more rpm than engine of 4x2 at the same speed, so also more heat. I'm afraid radiator from 4x2 (even 1100) in certain conditions (off-road, high speed) could be not enough.
It's the same story with 750 radiator coupled with 1000 engine. I have this combination in my wife's 1000 Bluebay. It's good for colder and normal weather, but for Romanian mountains in summer (especially Transfogaras Road, 2000 m's above sea) was not enough. But I have manual switch for cooling fan

Hi Sutjeska,
I can see your point about the radiator size, and cooling capacity, but I believe the 2wd and 4wd radiators to be exactly the same apart from where the tanks are located.
