    My £250 replacement rad for my 06 arrived yesterday. So tonight I decided to fit it. All went well until I filled it with new antifreeze and I noticed it poring out from the top left corner AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH.

    So now I have contacted them via ebay and asked for replacement (some hope) or refund which should be ok as via paypal.

    It really hacks me off when you get sent defective parts, I just hope they sort it out quickly. Looks like getting the bike back on the road for the weekend is not gonna happen.:mad:

    I had a rad re cored once, as good as brand new, cheaper than a replacement (rare car). Well worth it.

    Hi Fez, not your fault mate, I was pleased you took the time to help me out and I appreciate that.

    I am not too optimistic about finding another one but will also try the repair link.

    Thanks everyone. Nige
