Picking up a friend to go out for a beer and a ******* waster hose gives up. Now in a different pub drinking waiting for for recovery. At least it's cheaper than a cab.

Sorry to hear that... maybe the Z wanted a drink...?

I'm guessing your still using the original coolant hoses? It's really worth while changing them all. Round the back and under the plenum are some very pesky hoses that get hot and brittle and cause grief.

That's the one that's gone. Yeah still got all the original hoses.

Not unusual. It's just not worth the risk, the whole lot back there besides the heater core hoses can be replaced with off the shelf coolant hose brought by the meter so cheap. If you haven't before I'd pull the plenum and do do some preventative maintenance and delete the crap as you go. Bit involved if your not zed savy but well worth the effort. It's worth noting the hardline at the back there suffer from corrosion too.
