Re: Coolant hose failure - how to get to the garage

Just to update and close this thread off...
I managed to drive the bongo to the garage, I took a fair time and carried 20 litres of water with me. I took the expansion vessel lid off and kept topping up the coolant and stopping. It was just over 1.5 miles. The temp needle didn't actually move until about 300 yards from the garage.
In the end it was the radiator. All is now well as I had a full service done at the same time.
Thanks to all that replied, the next thing now is to find out where that current drain is on my leisure battery :-\
