Q- What's the difference between Bob Dylan and Sir John Betjemen?
A- Dylan may be a better poet, but Betjemen's the better singer.

Have sat that van on a flat surface and ran for a while to get temp and see where possible leak is. It seems to be towards the rear of the engine so think I can rule out the pump. I have tried my best to identify pipework in that area but could with an exploded diagram so as to pinpoint the area.helen&tony wrote:Hi
A pressure test is the way to check if you have an invisible leak, and if it doesn't hold pressure, you need to locate the faulty hose. If it's the waterpump, you need to check with the engine off, and you'll often find traces of a drip when cold. You'll need a VERY bright torch to find the pump leak, and a mirror helps to look underneath the pump. Heater matrices are sometimes suspect , and you may find wet carpets at the front or a drip behind the drivers seat...don't use the aircon , as that will drip anyway. The seams on the radiator are also suspect...
Mike...the Donovan reference was on another thread...

Think I may have cure it double dosage of Radweld Gold seems to have done the trick. From what I could see last night, I'm pretty certain its not core plugs. Tracing back water ascbest as I could it seemed to be coming from that block that mounts on the block/head
