No luck Brooke, I'm sure again it will get fixed with the minimum of fuss though!

Thanks John!

Can't speak highly enough of mobilo great experience again! Must be a weak spot the rads as 2 in 2ish weeks on similar cars is a bit of a coincidence but hopefully be sorted soon :)

Can't say I've heard of an epidemic of rad failures on these before, hopefully just coincidence- sorry Brooke- but as you say I suppose it lets you try out Mobilo! And better happening when you have warranty and cover....

I have bit the bullet and put the 600 up for sale. Drove it today and it put a lot of doubts in my mind but one has to go. I will put an advert up here tomorrow. Would love to keep them both as they are so different but just can't afford to. Any one interested please get in touch. Cheers

The M275'd cars seem to be affected more by rad failures in hot countries. I have lowered the set point of the fan on mine, so it sits at 87deg instead of 93 which I think is a bit high. The heat these engines put out is immense. All the rad's seem to fail at the plastic joints at the pipes.

Can you tell me how you did that please.

Control module adaption in the engine ecu on a star machine with developer mode. Any indy should be able to do it.

Thank you that's most kind, I can drive up at a week-end to suit you. Does it have any effect on the engine management side of things?

Nope, just changes the set point that the fan turns on at.

I am moving house at the mo, but PM me, and Im sure I will be able to find some time to do it.
