[mad max]

Damn fuel leak is back again. When it stops raining and drys up, I'll pop out and check where it's comming from this time.

 

[Fast Guy]

Well I couldn't find that fuel leak when I looked for it. I'll just keep an eye on it for now.


And the countdown is now on until my next coolant hose splits. Just replaced 3 hoses today, so there's only the 6 on the back of the engine left.

And that countdown finished yesterday when I got back off holiday.:doh:
The car started 1st time after 2 weeks away and about 1min later I wondered why every time I blipped the throttle a jet of water shot out of the bonnet scoop :lol:

I lifted the bonnet to find the rad hose to the thermostat had a pin hole leak in it about 2" from the stat:rain:

Oh well, I'll replace the 2 rad hoses, then that only leaves the 6 hoses on the rear of the engine that are origional.:?

PS the fuel leak was back, but I couldn't be arsed to look at it until I clear all the sodding cat shitt away from the car:laser:

One of my R's had a leak at the oil cooler hose it was the one that hardest to get too, i use a special tool i made to hold the clips open to make refitting the pipes easier.

I was messing with those pipes last month and i just used some needle nose mole grips, small ones.( can pick em up in halfrauds) which made the job easier, i had the oil cooler cylinder off to make it a bit better to get in there. Just thought id share that with you:roll:
oh i just read the rest of the pages and it looked like you all had fun! il keep quiet!!

i have the 2 hoses in my garage if you like?

 

[Fast Guy]

New/2nd hand/samco???

(I'm gonna replace them with samcos)

 

[frp]

my old ones, they were fine but i wanted samco

 

[Fast Guy]

I'll see how long the samcos are going to take to come. If ages, I may take it off you as a standby solution.

 

[Fast Guy]

New Samcos fitted.

Start the timer again:doh:

Maybe your head gasket is starting to fail, causing high pressure in the water system

[Fast Guy]
