Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, After fitting new condensers last month and doing a 2K mile trip next week thought it'd be a good idea to try and preserve the life of them. Did a DIY mesh guard today with a couple of mesh sheets I bought off eBay for £15.47. Looks quite good and should stop any nasty stones puncturing the rads. See photos below.

POST 3Original post

Nice job. How did you attach the mesh to the inside of the bumper? Glue/ screws?

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

2 small M4 nut & bolts through the mesh into the plastic shroud at the back part that's covered with the PU. The front inside edge is just pushed up against the shroud in front of the condenser.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Had the PU off again today so took a couple of quick snaps showing how I'd bolted the mesh in.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Been on 5 years now and still looks the same. Condensers still clean as a whistle too.

POST 9Original post

What's the spec Of The mesh? What do you type as eBay search? I get millions of hits no idea what to use.. Thanks

That took some digging! There you go: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Woven-Wi...-Stainless-Steel/261967305956?epid=1111953499 You need one for each side. :thumbs:

POST 11Original post

i did the same 5 years ago with cheapo black mesh and it still looks fine.
