Ok just curious. My first one went that way but more recently I managed to blow a hole in the side of mine the size of a 5p piece. Was just curious if this has happened to anyone else.

Mine crazed and gave up at Spa.

The newer ones that you get from Euro Car Parts are improved with a more modern heat resistant plastic being used.

Might be worth replacing anyway then.. They aren't expensive..

Any idea what car? You need to put a vehicle in to search the online shop (and therefore get the online discount..)

That happened to mine, during an MoT test! Replaced with the Eurocarparts one and been fine for over a year now
