Afternoon all, so Rad caps for my LS2 ro VXR. I dropped it off at the garage for the MOT and it decided to have a small leak. Now it could be the air con but I don't think so, my guess is the rad cap has failed.
The rad cap seems to need changing on these every couple of years which seems like a bad design.....so my question....has anyone found a replacement that does a better job? If not, with the loss of monkfish I guess we just go to Vauxhalls for one, or has someone found a decent supplier? With longevity in mind (when these parts get rare/ non existent) can these be fixed or modified to work better.....thoughts please?

I agree buying a box of and changing them regularly is now my plan. Obviously it was left to mf but times have changed as we all know.
Ebay here it is:

I thought mf had them for a tenner odd........I guess this is one of the users on here..... Neil perchance?

From a little digging it would seem that the rad caps have increased in value and £20 is a fair price. Also they are not available from my local Vx dealer......I am going to try to "fix," an old one I have. With parts becoming scarce or no longer available we will have to engineer our way out of it
