I haven't got asbestos fingers either, it's a very quick squeeze to avoid 2nd degree burns to my fingertips

I doubt that reading is real. Certainly not likely with the cap off so atmospheric pressure.

I'm guessing it should still be hard by the morning if the pressure is holding?

When the coolant is cold, there should be no pressure.

Top hose was cold and squishy this morning.
No obvious leaks either, so fingers crossed.
Next issue is why my battery doesn't last more than a few hours, but I'll save that for another thread

Unrelated question, but does anyone know what this connector is for?
Been hanging disconnected since I got the rover. Driver side of the boot lining.

Thanks!
Been out today and drove about 20 miles total, all seems to be good so far.
I did smell some burning from under the bonnet, maybe because the heat shields are off?
I tried to check the coolant level when I got home, but now my bonnet won't open
only pops on the passenger side!

My secret leak tracker is talcum powder, some leaks only show under pressure and by the time you stop and search the water has dried, (I spent months tracking a tiny pinhole in a heater hose that dribbled down to the top of the gearbox on our Disco 200Tdi), the trail thru the talc will at least point you in the general direction and maybe narrow down the search ...
