right the engine is vitara 1.6 8v spi, the hose with the red ring around I have put side of the intake manifold on the other pic with the red ring around it , the other pipe coming from the thing on the bulk head I left alone it goes into heatermatrix I think , and the pipe next to it I connect that to the smaller pipe coming from next to the bottom rad hose from water rail as in picc , thanks

Good luck with getting it running cool
, my temp gauge got very high (like 7mm off of the red zone kinda high) driving back from Buxton but I had been doing 80 for a solid couple of hours haha, should really get a decent rad fan

Have you had a pressure test / sniffer test done?
Might be worth looking at that
