I put a Sh*tpart rad on my 110 a few years ago when I was really stuck, it still looked brand new 12months later when I was throwing it in the bin because it was leaking like a sieve
I replaced that with a Bearmach 'Heavy duty' one, and haven't had the slightest problem in the 3 years it's been on there
Without checking I think it was about £160 or thereabouts.
