Are they really that bad? I'm just having to replace mine again after only doing it 3 years and about 15k miles ago.

What engine?? fill in your car details in your profile so you have a little FF under your name, hover over it and we can see what you have....  Pete

Sorry, it's an 03 4.4 V8 BMW Engined Vogue. Will do as you suggest.

I think it's more to do with the heat they made them run at, I fitted one of these a while ago and it's so much cooler under the bonnet... much better for the engine and all the rubber bit's....
