    Very common to get get damaged by stones, yes. I'd get one,not as a precaution, as a necessity.

    Greetings, apologies for jumping on this thread, I too have a hole in my bucket dear Liza, luckily (??) not too far from home courtesy of a Range Rover I think. Rad is off and small hole in one tube with crushed fins around it, look repairable so a question, any recommendations for either repair or exchange apart from the one above? Prepared to pay extra for quality job..
    Thanks Mike
    Ps. Buying guard as well...........
