Just drove home and my car is hissing steam from in front of the engine near the fan.....

 

aw god help

radiator leaking? or inlet/outlet cracked?

top or bottom rad pipe? gone or loose

water pump? leaking/bust

The little hoses the ally pipes push in to? perished

As Pete says,hope yer sort it Chuck.

The good news is it's a lot easier to fix there than down the back of the engine.

yep same fault as both of mine, probably top left pipe had a crack in it and they blow off completely wrecking the join.

 

Nothing for it but new rad or do what i did and rebuild the pipe in fibreglass and plastic piping

which will eventually fail due to the lack of adhesion of the resin to the plastic.

the left hand pipe just above the fan belt is dripping water that goes into the engine

 

so is it the rubber pipe i need to replace or a new rad or both?

 

just before chrimbo, I've been so happy as well,

Have you taken the pipe off to see where it's coming from?

is it the pipe at the top by the join to the rad or the small pipes behind the alloy pipes.

A lot of the time its one or both of the 2 little stubby rubber pipes that go from the 2 metal pipes into the engine block.

ok you are a laff.... you don't know me very well... that's what mechanics do!

mine has exact same problem, my rads fooked and leaking badly, so its a new rad and bleed the system my mechaic said...

 

i'm just not sure wether to get mine rebuilt by a specialist firm my mechanic uses or get a new one (theres one i like the look of on ebay)... he rebuild will be cheaper i think, but not by a lot...

 

mine also had a bad air lock and overheated, seems the time of year for this sort of problem.. lol..

Heheeeeee

 

 

Just got my car back :nana2:

 

from Mickey at Zworx for fixing that leaking pipe(coolant was pissing out of my car .....) Mickey and his lady Angela dropped off my car for me just now

I'm so happy, as can see how good my zed is getting now

 

between him and Slick Pete (and his mates) and Chris who works with Mickey (who touched up my front bumper) as it was well scratched - as a nice little surprise :hyper: thanks to you all :D

 

I'm a happy bunny

a happy ending

 

and arsenal won today :)

oh god yeah Greg , :hyper:

though you think Wigan should have been given that penalty?

How crap is referee Dowd? Arsenal committed nine fouls and received six bookings, Wigan tried to break Djourou’s nose and may even have succeeded, made fifteen fouls and received three bookings.

 

Rosicky is the man!!!!!

 

it's a happy day indeed

Drove my zed to work this morning, I just keep peeking at it out the window

god I'm gushing a lot :rofl:

Yep Mickeyb is deffo the man!

 

Ivan

In a non biast way of thinking wigan should of not had a penalty. To me he went over to easy? the referee was well :mac1:

 

and yes very fond of mr rosicky,very clever player, alike to mr fabregas, except more experianced and a good striker of the ball :)

:eek: ;)

fabregas oh I just want to hug him.... he is on my Arsenal mug, which my boss keeps trying to put in the bin (he's a Man Utd fan) and is not too happy his team keep losing to Arsenal :rofl: :rofl:

 

Thought fabi was looking a little jaded, even he can get tired, poor love he has played a lot of games, he's only 19 , 20 in May bless :eek:

 

Rosicky is great player and is getting better all the time, glad he had to fill number 7 ~ Robert Pires's shoes:bow: (bless he's had real problems with cruciate ligament going again, poor love) :cry: (sorry still in love with Pires)
