Hi James

Another part that tends to go south is the radiator cap. Is has a bad habit of seizing, and when the time comes to vent the pressure as designed it doesn't and the pressure finds another route. Usually a hose or very commonly the radiator cracks... An expensive fix that can be avoided for about $15-25. Change it as well to be safe.:)

Regards
Carl
