Hi guys, new here and looking foradvice. I recently bought a 2003 l322v8 petrol/lpg. I have had some issueswith coolant loss. First expansionbottle split. Then few days later ahose from lpg to heater matrix split. Would like opinions on maybe beinglinked? No gunk etc at oil cap or dipstick is it worth getting a pressuretest for hg done? Also breather hoses at crank all split so changingthem too. Fixedleak at rear heater pipe all seems okat moment andnever overheated at all. And anyone local to Glasgow area recommend adecent garage for future repairs? Thanks in advance .

Depending where in Glasgow and how far you are willing to travel, I would recommend https://www.gibsonsautos.co.uk . I do an 80ish mile round trip to go to them but it is more than worth it. They work on everything from Series1 to L405. They are honest and reliable.
I know someone else on here recommends a guy up Inverness way , not sure but @myfirstl322 may be more your direction and know somewhere.

Just renew all your rubber and plastic cooling system then do the thermostat mod no more problem.
Its just old and brittle
