   Hi, was checking the fluids today to notice the VTR's rad has been "secured" on the O/S (near the filler kneck) with a coat hanger what should it have, please post pics.

   Oh is that standard? Just saw an engine bay pic with the same clip I am talking about. Is the radiator supposed to move about an inch or so?

   yeah that is standard lol! i think citroen had a load of old coat hangers sat about and thought, we'll use these!
   
   yeah it does wobble about a bit, but the pipes stop it from going anywhere.
