Pete,

The two radiator failures on the list were in the body near the mounting 
points. Is this where yours is or do something strike and damage the unit?

Did they verify that it was actually coming from the radiator? there have 
been a few problems with a hose clamp on the clutch side that could also be 
the source of the problem and if so, would be a much easier and quicker fix.

Otherwise, if the part (radiator) is in stock at ToA then you should not be 
off the road for too long. If it has to come from the UK it may take a 
little longer. As for the warranty, I would guess that it depends on wether 
it was a defect or wether something hit and damaged it.
