I did 24,000 miles in 4 years in the 4/4 Sport with no problems with the radiator, I wouldn't worry unduly about it as most cars are fitted with these nowadays as you know Paul and a failure makes a story but there are very few on here I have noticed.

Sure my Mulfab keeps the Plus 8 a little cooler and looks pretty but it was fitted when I bought the car.
