maybe an idea to replace the waterpump while the systems down mate if its age unknown. they can be hard to spot leaking on a pressure test,and askirsty says check everything--twice. New waterpump 2009 with my head episode. Will try that pressure tester i got from a very nice man, if i can find it. ...

Sounds like it airlocked & pressurised the system, popping the pressure cap, this wouldn't set off the low cooalant alarm (nothing is perfect :wink: ) but the high level add on would have picked it up. Check for pinholes, rad seam weeps, etc, may be worth pressure testing the coolant system. Go...

Was driving today and noticed steam from up front. Put the heaters on and stopped as soon as i could. Opened bonet to find coolant all over the place Was worried that the LCA didn,t kick off. AA man pressurised the rad and we couldn,t see any leaks He suggested it could be the thermostat. wanted to ...

So, you gonna tell us what you hit?

Am i missing something here Haydn?
When i fitted my LB i pulled fuses for Lighter, Radio, blinds and what not and fitted the lives from the LB to one side of the fuse holder to feed those circuits.
I then fitted my LCA and TM2 to the other side of these holders to give me a switched live.

guys, I have found a leak on the oil cooler that sits behind the radiator. Think the leak is from the rubber hoses at the top. The thing is, is this cooler for engine oil or transmission oil? Would be a nightmare if I drained the wrong one. Even after draining, am I going to make a big mess? I can't...

im stumped then, did you buy cheap ones, there is nowt under your left foot apart from the wishbone rubbers at your right foot. could it be transfering over through the panel. if so it could be drop links. try squirting things one by one with wd 40,then test.then try another bit. Had the droplinks ...

under the feet is the anti roll bar and brackets,they are hard to detect as faulty in the early stages of failure. for the price,ive been told gen mazda ones are approx£5 each + £5 for each rubber,you need 2 of each. there is a quick test/cheap fix,try removing one,and wrapping the rubber with a sl...

I have a creaking/soft knocking when turning the steering. When reversing slowly without turning it knocks lightly. When going forward it don't. When going forward slowly and turning the steering from side to side it rattles when being turned and stops when not. Tried full lock in a carpark to see i...

Sorry guys. Ollie and are down the other end of the country in Devon. Enjoy all of you and plenty of piccys please.

Been offside for a bit. When is this meet?

girly--------------ooooooo :lol: what hoses have you got on tony?. someone posted the same question a week ago and put up pics that may help you. the reason i ask about which hoses is if standard ones are fitted its easier to see whats going on,if you have silicone it may be harder if they are spon...

Got a set of constant pressure hose clips from Haydn, thanks mate, and was wondering if it would be possible to change my clips on the 4 big hoses without draining the coolant. What i mean is, undo the old clips completely and remove. Open up the new ones and wrap around the hose and redo. Secondly ...
