My factory original radiator, top tank split,a couple of days ago, 140km from Longreach, had to make a temporary repair, then drive very carefully to Longreach, still waiting for an other radiator to arrive, the original core still looks new, but the plastic tanks get brittle with age, I don’t now how long they should last, but you could treat them as a service item and replace them at regular intervals.
