New Radiator for NA6 MX5
Hey Guys,
I have recently acquired an MX5, and am very happy to be driving around in one (although am starting to get the hairdresser jokes!!).
About 3 weeks ago, I noticed a small crack in the Top Tank in the radiator ! I decided I would buy a new radiator all together, as the current one has probably been in the car since new! I purchased a radiator from overseas, and received it today. One question I have is, I noticed on the bottom of my stock radiator, there is a small pipe that comes from the bottom of the radiator. I have included a few pics of my new radiator, and the pipe on the old radiator.
Is anybody able to tell me what this pipe is for, as it is not on the new aftermarket radiator? I am starting to wonder whether I got the correct radiator!!
Any help would be much appreciated! Cheers

Oh, ignore last reply- can now see the pictures...
The "Radiator" with tube that you can see in the grille of the car is not the radiator at all. What you can see is the air conditioning condenser. The radiator is fitted behind the condenser, you cannot see it through the grille...
