TU3A 1.4 - What radiator to get?

[adam0088 0]

I need a new radiator for my 205 Open, TU3A 1.4. I currently have what I believe to be a Nissens 63425 (1300 K7) radiator. 

 

After looking around various places, I realised that actually there are two different radiators that are listed to fit my car, I think the part numbers are 1300 K7 and 1300 K6, but wasn't entirely sure on the differences, it says one is plastic and one metallic, which I assume are just the bits on the side of the radiator, but they also seem to be completely different lengths. Here's the parts catalog for the TU radiator https://www.miamistu.co.uk/pug/GB/205F/1/13A20A.HTM

 

I had a few issues with overheating last summer, and think that it would be great if I could get a bigger radiator if possible, which the 1300 K7 is in fact longer.. I just want to be sure that it will fit?

 

I'm looking currently at NRF radiators, I'll link the two below.. one of which is the same as the Nissens 63425 which I currently have, so I'm positive that WILL fit.  The other says it's for a 1.8d, however also says OE number 1300 K6 which is listed to fit my car. Will this one fit or not?

https://webshop.nrf.eu/automotive/peugeot-14789.html < 1300 K6 - not sure?

 

Looking for any recommendations and help! Thanks

I have a brand new Peugeot expansion tank for a TU engine if you need one.
