New antifreeze is notorious for find leaks that were not there before. Tis the nature of the beast.
Tis soRemoving the radio and repairing all the busted plastics took longer than the actual O rings. Whoever fitted the mobile phone kit for the last owner was a fecking butcher. Luckily some of the bits from my spares dog were in good nick, other bits I re-built.
I saw you were in the process of doing yours Keith.
I've got mine stripped last night, to the point where i am just finishing my tea then back out to hopefully remove the final screw and fit O rings and re-assemble.Have not cut the heater duct yet but i think i might have to just to slip the O rings off and back on.
Too busy with other peoples broken cars this morning and my poor RR is staring at me through the garage door looking pied off.
Better crack on lads,hopefully will have a nice warm dry Rangie later today.

At least the screw came out easily for you. On mine it's stuck so I need to get a screw extractor. They are such poorly built cars!
Ive got mine to do but not rushing into it as in might be in the breakers yard in a few weeks so will hang on a bit but i have bought and fitted a 13mm U hose and rerouted the coolant so it cant leak in anymore....
My rangie is also leaking rain water onto the top of the mat on the drivers side someone said it was the pollen filter how and what is the fix for that ????
Do a search, lots of info, just done mine I hope.
Rodentod, pull the plastic kick strip up, under it you will find a channel full of cables, in my case it was also full of congealed antifreeze a rusty screw and some bits of plastic that had chaffed the cables. Washed the channel out and dried with the aquavac taped up the cables and prevented another fault. The cable harness is sooo poorly protected.
