Part number c17.11.7.699.517.
I assume it is a 13s radiator.
Costas don't tell me the 16 would have been better and/or cheaper.
The rad has a two year warrantee so I don't think it would apply if a 16 had been fitted.
That bloody spell checker again Ron  ;D

It a little warranty Rae
Its not always the destination that counts its the ride, having a destination just stops you going round in circles.

The part is warranted for two years. If it rots, you take it off, take it back and they give you another one  ;D

Me being suspicious again but would a part fitted to the wrong machine invalidate the warranty?

If you take the rad back, how would they know?

Is there a serial number on it?

SBW/Lind have my registration number on record and the ordered part number.
It wouldn't take much to check back through their records which I assume they would do to ascertain that they supplied it.

K12 & kn13 rad are the same with s/n 17117699517 the 16 rad visually exactly the same but presumably with more internal chambers has s/n 17117726416
