hi all, my friend has a freda,the top radiator hose has a pinprick hole in it,do you think a repair would suffice or a new hose (have a thought for me as he is not very good with a spanner,and i would end up doing the job !!!!)

thanks Daz

New hose & check the rest asap, Make sure you flush & bleed thoroughly as per factsheet in members area. Have you got a low coolant level alarm or mason alarm fitted?

get it replaced asap, it will overheat once he loses a bit of coolant, cheaper to repace a hose than a new head!

Just make sure you bleed it correctly:wink:

Bongo Bits, club shop - click above right, members discount if you're a paid up member. I'd recommend the silicon hoses from Flippa, but he's away til the 23rd I think & you need to get that ordered & done asap.

:lol: Too quick for me Wayne :wink:

Make sure whoever puts on the new hose Knows How to BLEED the system properly....It is NOT straight forward and if not done correctly will probably cost you plenty.
