Ok the on going saga of Jo is continuing, I have replaced all the pipes except one which were all leaking and the radiator again which was leaking.
When I did this I put some flurencent dye into the coolent just in case. After running Jo a while the system was holding little pressure, so I got home this evening pumped it up to 1bar and waited for 5 mins. Got the UV torch out and looked around the engine bay. All the old leaks are done. Then looking down the exhaust side of the engine I could see nice bright green dripps coming from somewhere near the exhaust manifold.
Hopefully this is a head gasket failure near the back of the engine. So looks like this weekend will be out in the front with the spanners to get it off to drop it for testing. I hope the block is not split.
