| 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. |
