Right folks, It's been a week now since I chagned the top hose.

I want to know if this is normal !!

I am now having to put a litre and a half of water in a fter a 28 mile journey !

Could I have the dreaded airlock, asking these questions I'm thinking of checking both ends of the hose to see if the clamps need to be tightenend.

Gary that is far too much coolant loss, Have you checked under the bongo for leaks, when stationary you may not notice a leak, but when running and system is under pressure you may spot a leak. You will have to check your coolant quality also.

Update !!

I was at another Bongoliers house yesterday picking up some seat trays and he noticed that I had water leaking from underneath my beast.

I promptly dived to the floor with screwdriver in hand (I live on a main road, so not usually safe to dive on the floor there) and tightened up the screw a full 1 and a half times.

No water loss overnight, will take the beast for a run today and report back.

Thanks all.
