I"m a bit stumped ?? Where is it all going
« on: October 30, 2007, 20:43:07 »
In short i would like to borrow a coolant system pressure tester????  The type that fixes to the header tank and pump up, to see where the leak is,

  Shortened story i have a 3.5 V8 disco which seems to aquired a thirst for coolant, no obvious leaks no water in oil or visa versa, no increased level on dipstick, runs sweet as a nutty thing, dont overheat, just uses coolant ?? hoping to test it hot n cold with the tester attatched to see where its going ??

  Will take as long as it takes you to drink your complimentary cuppa  :lol:
TD5 with a few Tweaks ;o)
a bit more fuel friendly than the V8

Its your Rad, any amount of money on it.

The noise that it was making on Sat certainly points that way and I did see corrosion on there. I'd suspect that the stops on those fans have done it :( Fill her up, go for a good blast to get her nice and toasty and look arround the rust marks. Might ecven be worth using your laser pointer as the steam will make the beam visible.

I thought you were aware the rad had an issue else I'd have make a bigger fuss of it.   :(
I must confess the the activities of the UK governments for the past couple of years have been watched with frank admiration and amazement by Lord Vetinari. Outright theft as a policy had never occured to him.

No im toooo laid back sometimes for my own good  :lol: ,   I shall pop off the fans n go for a blast later on today,( via the petrol garage of course :roll: )      The rads not too old so hopefully i can braze it or chemical metal if its a proper leak n not corrosion???    Cheers for reminding me though  :D

The SuperSeal connectors are well worth the Money. All of Rabbits new wiring was done with them over a year ago. When I stripped her to do the engine there wasnt a drop of crud in nay of them.
