for the k series you need either k seal or the revised freelander headgasket..kseal has saved my butt a few times but doesnt like being thrashed

Rob, is it worth fitting a smaller rad as Arragonis's thread on temps seems to suggest cold air, warm coolant as the best combo for a diesel?

Must be a smaller rad avail off the shelf for a polo.. Then its just a case of getting the pipes to fit.
