Anyone help?

Got the heater matrix this morning, its a nissens, i know for the main radiator this is a good make but what about the heater matrix? I also got the plastic connector with it

Its still a radiator for the transfer of heat...........as in exactly the same just smaller, and if by "the plastic connector" you mean the part that you connect the hoses to on the bulkhead then yes.............if you didn't have that attached it would be really hard to connect really wouldn't it! what with it being part of the matrix and all I would have been really disappointed if I didn't get it with the matrix

I know what it does But would it be better going to peugeot and paying twice as much for a valeo?? Or is a nissens heater matrix a good brand is what im trying to say

You have no idea how many parts i buy and they expect you to use old bits along with it

Now last thing is this

Can i get rid of the connector in the engine bay and use some copper pipe, jubilee clips and hard rubber pipes to bodge it? Or is that a bad idea?
