This Is The Reason Why I Didn't Get To Go Round Silverstone....

[WilT]

Just before going out onto the track, my coolant decided to pi*s everywhere!
I've just taken the radiator off and found out why!!!!

Basically over some time the fan housing has bent with the heat of the radiator and has slowly rubbed away at the radiator, eventually the metal had got so thin that the pressure of the coolant system caused a capillary to fail at the most appropriate of times!!

Un-lucky, did you get a refund for the track day or did you have to take the hit?

Get a nice shiney Aluminium one.
