Hi,Very common, look around at the mercs parked at the shopping centre next time you are out & bored (thats assuming you are like me & do not care for shopping), you will be amazed how many merc bonnets are damaged in this way.  

If everything is coming your way, you are in the wrong lane

after renewing the rad always check the viscous fan is operating, its sometimes its failure that causes rad to explode.

yup had two do it to me in the last two months, one with bonnet closed one with it open-my god it could do serious damage to someone -large shards of top header tank flying in several directions-not to mention the boiling water tha follows it,now refusing to mot mercs that haven't had rad cap changed for health reasons-liable to cause injuryto tester or equiptment is the refusal to test reason i use,looked into it some and apparently merecedes know of this problem
