Technical radiator leak

[fatnav50]

I own a weekend TD100 marea and the main rad is leaking. I know of a 20v marea that is being broken, could i get away with using this radiator on mine, please

I have now fitted this radiator and found a couple of things different, like where the top/bottom hoses fit, on the diesel rad, the fittings come out at an angle, where as the 20v's are straight. I could not fit my original fan as there were no fixing points on this rad, so i had to use the 20v's fan and modify the cover to take the diesels electric bits, also had to change the thermostat/fanswitch on the radiator, so my fans plug would fit, as its a 3 pin and the 20v's was a 2 pin. The rad seem ok, no leaks, the fan has not kicked in yet, as the car does'nt seem to get hot enough to make it run, but the heaters are roasting when up to normal running temp. After running the car around my local area for a good while, i cant see any probs, not bad for £20 and a bit of time
