Its foc'ing boiled over...

Good point Steve. I tried warming it up today after flushing the system as per the haynes manual and replacing with just water.


Could I see an obvious leak? Could I shite, so I got tired of trying to warm it up slowly as its so cold ooop north this morning... so i decided to take it out for a run around some local streets, never too far so that I couldn't get back if the fan kicked in again. stopped a couple of times and couldn't see anything so went home, got off and had a closer look again and found a tiny hose leading from the thermostat housing that was spraying water out of what appears to be a crack in the pipe! RESULT!!


the photo points out which pipe it is does anyone know where I could get hold of one? is it a standard diameter that I could procure from a misc. autofactor?


I'd love to get it sorted today so I don't have to get the train to work tomorrow!


Also, what oil do people use? I think its burning a small amount, not anything to worry about but it could do with a top up.


Thanks for all the comments and suggestions, I'd have been stuck without ya'll!
