It's only because if I find mine is blocked, it's the easiest replacement to get hold of, but I think your right, I might just get mine recored

Only costs about £65 for a recore and about £75-80 for a copper core.

Rads have gone up hugely in price lately, last recore I had done was £90, so shop around a lot.
