Cheers buddy will look into it. Looks to me that the moron before me dropped it doing a wheelie! There is gravel rash under the LH can, broken underside upper cowling and the LH radiator mounts are all wonky, plus there was no coolant in the reservoir! I hope it's not gonna cost much to have fixed

Hi steelsey - you can get these repaired and cost depends on the damage! A common fault is the rad splitting near the mount - it happened to mine and cost about 100 quid to repair. They block off the damaged run of fins and weld it up so the water bypasses the crack. Not so good if the crack is near the middle but fine if on bottom couple of rows. Think it was GMX radiators in Essex. Hope this helps, best of luck.

Sorry dude I should have responded. I found a local repairer in Nottingham called Coolex. They repaired and sprayed in 24hours and charged me £45!!!!

Recently got mine back from GMX radiators in Essex (cost = £109).... finally got round to fitting it today, and so far it's not leaking anymore

They are very nice bunch of people & seem to know what they are doing, so they are recommended.
