Hope the new hoses sort it.

That t piece could have gone anytime, either before you had her as it was on there from new so it did have a good life.

Please don't think of breaking her, that's one reason I spent so much on her as I thought she was worth it. I had issues along the way too but never gave in

Adam - I know you do but you sir, can sod off!

Dave - Cheers well I was thinking about it as I was extremely peed off with it as it had been 2 drives - 2 breakdowns

Jono: see above I bloody hope the hoses sort it to! Then the headlights and steering rack.......

I have calmed down now - and drove it last night with the bodge and just water as coolant - managed 5 miles with no incident

Loud as ever

Im running water as coolant atm as I aint buying fresh coolant to drain it out when I change my broken pipe, its a sort of race to get it sorted before its starts freezing over night lol.

Samco was £229 which i don't have

hoses in the post........

these turned up today:




Got Friday off work to go to Sophie's uncles work and do another oil/filter change as I think the filter is leaking and swap these hoses and do a coolant change

Then it will just be headlight stalk and steering rack

In answer to Paul's question, no they don't include them lol!

As per facebook, good news! looking forward to it getting fitted. I remember putting my silicone hose there, fuck me what a pain in the arse! good luck
