To replace the cabin heating radiator on a Ford Ka, open the bonnet to access the bolts securing the plastic grille at the base of the windscreen. Under this grille, you will find the radiator, which needs to be disconnected from the appropriate pipes and freed from its securing screws.

This will allow you to completely remove it and replace it with a new part; secure and connect the new radiator properly, then cover everything with the grille at the base of the windscreen.
