@clone let us know how you go on when you use it. What size is your rad? As mentioned my 420mm rad / loop used all the included top up coolant from the small bottle that came with the kit.

420mm mate, yeh will do.

Not the best picture,i have my 420mm hose on the top was i bit worried about bubbles but ive not heard anything so far and the temps a great.

Got mine.

For some reason the postie thought it best to hide it behind my recycle bin instead of using the letterbox.

Not sure when it was delivered as i last moved the bin on Wednesday and was not carded to say it was there. :confused:

Requested my service kit this evening. I don't fully understand the issue, if affected and left unchecked is it bad news?

If you have one of the poorly vulcanised rubber gromets then over time it will disolve into the liquid and could clog it up and/or leak.

I got my kit in the post this morning so will open mine up and see what it it looks like inside and obviously swap the gaskets.

Has anyone else had anything in the last few days? Seems to have gone a bit quiet...

I had confirmation of my kit on August 24th, nothing has turned up yet

clone · 17 Sep 2022 at 15:45

They said 14 days from dispatch, may be worth a email to them.

Check your bins.

Mine was 24th August as well so hopefully soon.

Think these postmen need to learn what a letterbox looks like.

One thing I will be doing when I fit the kit is disconnect that fan on the pump because when I just surf the net I turn all my fans down as I don't need them running so fast I can hear that fan and it annoys me.

Fitted the kit tonight, not too bad if you set everything out. I couldn't see anything wrong with the grommet that was in it,
I rubbed it on some tissue and ran a cotton wool bud over it, no evidence of any black bits or any signs of deterioration.
The same with the copper head, all looked good to me. Still, I'm reassured it's not going to degrade now.

I've got one of these, how do I check if mine is an affected model?

Even if its not you can still ask for the kit, they will send you one.
