Hi everyone,
I have just bought my second RR - a 1999/T P38 4.0 for £995. 91k on the clock, and almost everything works! The only thing that didn't work was the heater matrix, but I have had this fixed by my local garage...almost! The rubber pipes that attach to the metal pipes that come through the bulkhead into the engine bay from the heater matrix haven't had their clips reattached, so as this is pressurised coolant is leaking from the pipes - no surprise there! I will be taking the car back tomorrow to get this rectified. The rubber pipes then travel down the right bank, along side the rocker cover, and attach (with jubilee clips this time replaced!) to metal pipes, the ends of which are a little rusty and I could do with replacing these. I think one of these metal pipes goes to the thermostat?? Please forgive my ignorance, but I am trying to locate a description and part number for these two metal pipes - can anyone assist me please? I have had a good rummage on the web for over an hour but can't find any diagrams etc that describe the metal pipes. I am purchasing a full workshop manual which will obviously prove invaluable! Many thanks - I look forward to contributing to the forum as often as I can - I have been a contributing member of Volvo and Ford forums for some years. Dave.
