So after a small drip turned into a big drip,I ordered one of these
http://m.ebay.com/itm/271152616289?nav=WATCHING_ACTIVE
Stripped the fans off old radiator, refitted to new one,
Went to swap caps over and discovered it wouldnt go on
.Luckily there was a crv in at work so i had a wee test fit of its cap and hey presto it fitted.So for the bargain price of £3.29 i ordered an aftermarket cap for an 05 crv
So for the money you cant go wrong IMO
Congratulations to vtecmec for winning May/June's Lude Of The Month, with his DIY Turbo BB1 build.

Looks very similar to the one I purchased when my green ludes rad died. Except the rad I got had oil cooling pipes as well. The cap did fit it was just a bit stiff to start with

Aye it came with adaptors for the oil cooler for an auto but they were pre blanked off
The reason the cap wouldnt fit was the new rad had a raised lip inside the filler neck whereas the old one was flush
Basically the old caps spring was too long
