Bongo Fury

Owned a freeda 2.5d about 10 months now and I absolutely love it, suitesmy lifestyle and hobby perfectly and the 4 wheel drive is fantatic, anyway 4 months ago after much reading on here decided to fit the low coolant alarm just incase and am I glad.

My mate bought a car in birmingham and needed it towing home, a 280 mile round trip, so we sets off down the M1 , 70 miles later, Beeeeeeeeeeeeeep, pulls over, header tank empty, tops up, 5 mile later pull up at services and off it goes again, the radiator has burst, thank god I fit the alarm or it might of been scrap.

Anyway, new rad ordered, so has anyone got any tips for the bleeding of my beast. Cheers guys.

found handle of 1/4 drive bar is perfect to ram up oil cooler pipes whilst its out to save it leaking to much

There are still peeps out there who reckon they are a waste of money !!
They rely on visual checks before a journey (do they actually do that) and their nose whilst driving.
