   I was wondering if its difficult to replace the radiator on a Saxo VTR?
   Is it fairly straight forward or with it being a Saxo is it gonna be super difficult and I have to take the whole thing apart to replace it? (slight exaggeration).
   
   Trying to save myself a bit of money by doing bits and bobs to the car myself as being a student im not exactly rolling in the money

   Proberly the easiest rad to change.
   Don't even take the fan off as it bolts to the front panel.
   Take both rad hoses off.
   Take off twetal clips (just pull off)
   And lift the rad out.

   as above very simple and straight forward, only thing that can be a bit awkward is the bottom hose clip , can be a bit of a cunt to get off/back on but apart from that its very simples!
