I've got one on mine and not had a problem, everything fitted on ok. Had a standard replacement one before and started leaking by where the plastic caps are crimped on. I know this is how the original ones are, but wasn't impressed so went for the full alloy one. Hope this helps.

When my original rad leaked I replaced with one from a rad seller on ebay and was 100% identical to the original. Only cost 65 quid posted too.

That company does a lot of cheap stuff that they sell on with quite a mark up. I bought this one...

The company went through a spell of listing a couple at 99p start and I ended up paying about £65 delivered for a brand new one
