I thought the Valeo had shot up in price now, what are they now from there?

Depends on what one you get, some have the oil cooler and some dont.

Im running a £50 kung fui alloy rad on the honda, seems good not problems, apart from the bores being a tad larger so tight to get hoses on..

Gsf told mr the valeo rad was now discontinued so the only one they could get was a copper core job

Anything I've asked for at gsf has fallen on deaf ears, there stocking nothing, getting in nothing. If it's not sat on the shelf I seem to be wasting my time.

Sounds like it could be a worthy investment. Surly:scratch: it's got to be better being alloy.
