    or you could use some cheap ass rad weld on your 7k bike and have the engine overheat because one of the water ways have blocked, its a fireblade, it inst a cut corners & bodge it bike - a £50 rad repair is priceless.

    surprised you haven't suggested he put a egg in the system!

    or you could make some cheap ass comment about something you obviously have no experience of.

    it works,it's as simple as that.

    So what you've used it and not had a problem? that's OK i guess then. rad weld is a temporary repair only!

    seems scooby likes having a dig at peoples comments.

    There are people in the world that do things properly, or there are people that cut corners. Fair enough, but at the end of the day its up to the individual.

    i think theres a few on here that are a little over sensitive,theres no "escalation or nastiness",just people putting thier points of view/opinions across.

    He wanted a better view Ken:D
    On a lighter note if anyone in Kent had a rad leak including you Megs I'd donate a bottle to prove a point that it does indeed do a good job and is permanent.I bought this K-Seal in from a rep who said it was new and very good.My old Rover coupe had a headgasket gone at that time and I put a bottle in, that the rep gave me as a sample.It worked and the car was still running around here in Sittingbourne 2 yrs later with no headgasket changed.Bikes are horrendously expensive at times so for tha sake of a bottle its worth saving you money.
