Two quick questions on the cooling system if I may.
Firstly, when running the engine on my 1977 SWB 2.25 petrol for a long-ish period of time (more than 20 minutes) for the first time since I've had him, the radiator cap dripped vert hot water out of a the metal tube thing (I'm a bit new to some of this). Is this normal? I read somewhere that some land rovers have expansion tanks but mine doesn't appear to. Should it have one?
Secondly, despite being the top hose being vert hot indeed, the bottom one wasn't. A parallel thread appears to say this is normal. Can someone confirm please? I was going to overhaul the cooling system to check for blockages but if it's normal then I'll tackle more pressing tasks.
Many thanks.
