Bugger!

Rear left hand coolant hose about 4" long that tapers down in diameter is split. It connects the hard coolant pipe at the back of the engine to the oil cooler.

Stuck in whitehaven unless I ring the RAC to drag me back to up scotland.

Lost coolant pressure and started to overheat.

Anyone local able to assist? No worries if not.

Daft has texted Screerun. What exactly do you need to get you up and running?

Does it need an exact part picking up from a suppliers or a bodge and a fistful of clips?

Screerun is in Whitehaven but he works shifts, it says.
Fmog is the next and he works from home. Wasdale??

i think as the hose is tapered anything other than the proper thing is going to fail, its split right in the middle so it doesnt seem possible to cut it down either.

Vilguy, you still stuck. If so exactly where are you and whats your mob number?

vilguy · Dec 8, 2015

ill pm you hang on.

vilguy · Dec 8, 2015

Kind off of assistance from screerun, unfortunately local landy dealer doesnt have one, or secondhand in the back, so i think its going to be an RAC jobbie.

Cheers for the offer of assistance though, its appreciated

If there's anything else that we might be able to help with gissa shout.

Only when I'm drunk

Maybe it's best to get a piggy back home if yer worried about the head

vilguy · Dec 8, 2015

i figure i might as well just go for it, the heads either going to be ok or knackered and only way to find out really is to drive the thing

REET GUYS - SIMPLE ROADSIDE FIX.....

get a cycle inner tube and slide it INSIDE the defective hose. when pressurised, it should press itself against the old hose and be ok as a get-you-home fix.

Couple of jubilee clips to hold the old hose together to be safe.

I don't have Vilguys fone no for LZIR

vilguy · Dec 8, 2015

ohhh thats actually quite clever!

alass I dont have a bicycle inner tube to hand hahaha

I need to pray on a passing small child passing on their bike....

no wait that doesnt read right!
