   Got a couple questions please guys..
   Need to swap my rad soon as its all rusting up at the top-I see Ebay are doing them for around £35 delivered.
   Anyone had any issues with these perhaps being a lower quality or are they generally ok?Is there a 'recommended' supplier on here instead?
   
   Also,on a side note I need to remove my air box assembly to get to my throttle body-how does the oil breather pipe detach from the rocker cover -is it just hard pull?Had a quick go yesterday and it seems real tight on there!
   
   Thanks as usual for the help

   the breather pipes in my t reg vtr have like a little yellow tap which you push in (or pull out) then just pull the breather off

   Pardon the bump but wasn't there a parts supplier on here that can provide a good second hand rad?
