It's top and bottom both on the same side , and oil cooler pipes on the other

The clue is here.

stopped lifted the bonnet and the rad core is stone cold but both top and bottom hoses are hot , as soon as I stopped the engine within about 30 seconds the core begins to get hot ,

Take a good look at that rad.
I bet you could run water in the top straight out the bottom.

It has a plate in the middle of the rad header to force the water through the core you can see it from the bleed bung when it's removed as it was one of my thoughts too

That's as maybe but it obviously isnt working.
Probably got huge gaps around it.

Just a quick one is anyone able to confirm the voltage that should be put out from the stabiliser down the sender wire ?
