Right i'm looking at fitting a cooler but not sure on the best route to plumb it in! The space is pretty tight so any tips or suggestions would be much appreciated
I have took a few photos of the engine bay

Will have a look when not on iPhone, but still maintain easier on 1.4 than 2.0

indeed there is but thats for the 2.0 not the 1.4 which mine is, the engines are a different way round, in the 2.0 the turbo is at the back and mines at the front i did look if it could be done with teh same guide but sadly its pretty different
