Has anyone here ever installed a Nissens radiator in an XJ? If so, any fitment problems?

I've fitted mine now, it went in fine. Two niggles: you need to swap over the two rubber mounting blocks and the aircon condenser brackets from the top of your existing rad. This is fine unless your old rad doesn't have a bolt-on bracket but a welded-on tab instead :/
I found the radiator cap hard to remove/replace as it's too close to the slam panel. It's doable, but a bit of a chore.
Otherwise, it's fine. Nothing fancy, just a single row rad that fits.
