Careful how you take the cap off the expansion tank because the coolant could boil over.

Afternoon, The car wash made off with my rear door rubbing strip! I got it back, but need to fix it back on properly. I've noticed that one of the holes in the door is missing the blue grommet, so the clip isn't staying in: Anyone know where I...

Will give that a go this afternoon

Sorry should have clarified, When I had a bigger coolant leak in the past, a stain was being left on the driveway. Now there's no stain being left, so I don't have any clues.

I do check under the bonnet when I get home, and haven't spotted anything obvious yet. The coolant also tends to leave a distinct stain on my driveway for a few days. It's going in for suspension work later this week, so I'll ask the guys to...

I've not noticed any leaks or puddles around the cap, so I hadn't thought about replacing it yet. It does sometimes screw on funny, so maybe it's worth a punt for a few quid

One month later, foot well is nice and dry. No signs of any interior leaks. Still losing a small amount of coolant every few days, topping up once a week currently. Haven't found the source of it yet. Pressure test holds well, and no leaks...

Ended up shortening the driver's side latch bolt and lengthening the passenger side one, that seemed to get the bonnet opening fairly reliably. I'll probably have to make some micro adjustments to find the sweet spot

Britpart is where I got mine too. Was thinking they might be a bit long. I tried to line the bolts up with the cleaner metal on the bracket to get it close to the original LR position, but it's definitely not exactly as it was. I might put a...

Hello I recently bought a replacement bonnet catch (driver's side, UK) to replace the existing one which wasn't working well. The old one only had one bolt holding it in, so it would hang slightly and get jammed. I replaced it, along with a new...

All done. Bought some M5 x 25mm bolts from Wickes this morning and it went in first time. Bracket lines up properly and all. Shame it was a 50 pack - anybody need 49 spare bolts? 😆 Pressure tested to 15 psi for about 10 mins, and no leaks...

Ended up loosening it for now and leaving it for the evening. Wasn't happy with the way it was sitting. I'm pretty sure the O rings are right, they're straight from the LR dealer, part number that was given previously in this thread. Might...

Quick update: Managed to screw it down, but I'm not convinced it's right: See those two little teeth on the edge of the bracket? Top one doesn't seem to be making contact with the matrix, and the bottom one is on top of the inlet instead of...

Back again. Greased up the O rings but still no luck with the securing bracket. Does the bracket slot in to place first before tightening? Right now it's loose and I'm having to push it up with my hands when trying to screw it on. I've pushed...

I have copper grease, or is silicon better? Also, are the O rings supposed to fit snug in to the matrix? Right now the pipes slot in but they don't go in much and have little resistance

I did! They're on there somewhere, 11 quid from the main dealer I tried this with a fridge magnet, but I think it was too weak, the magnetisation was pathetic. Think I'll make a trip to Screwfix

I pulled the pipes + clamp out to take the pic, that's why it's not sitting right. Do the flanges on the pipes sit on top of the inlet surface? Or do they go further in? Someone has been and butchered the threads in it too. Made 10x harder by...

What's the secret to getting this clamp and screw back on the heater matrix? I've been at it for hours, it's kicking my arse Is there a certain way the clamp is supposed to sit on the matrix?

If they have crusty crap on them it's because they've been leaking 👍

Got the buggers out. They don't look in bad condition, got me wondering if it's a leak with the pipes or the matrix itself. Anyways, what size o rings have people been using as a replacement? I've got some that are the same diameter but a...

Anyone know what diameter duct this is? May as well replace it while I'm here

Wish I saw this before I started tearing the dash apart! Is it as simple as piping the internal (behind firewall )pipes to eachother and the external (engine loop) pipes to eachother? Made a start today, got some bits off but got stuck because I...

It's definitely coolant, the puddle is a bright pink. Guess I'll be off the road for a while!

Do you have any links to a full guide for this method?

Any recommended threads/guides? Found a dash removal guide on paulp38a.com, looks like a lot of fun 😑

Is that more or less work than replacing both the cylinder head gaskets....because that took me a month

Ah...that might do it

Had a look this afternoon, the drips are coming from somewhere in-between the front wing:

I pressurised it using a tester up to ~15 psi, and didn't see any coolant coming from the top of the expansion tank, so I don't think it's leaking from the overflow I was going to have another look this morning, but the weather has decided that...

Evening, Noticed my 4.6 has been losing some coolant recently. Pressurised the cooling system, and I can see drips dropping from the bottom of the wheel arch, just before the front driver (UK) wheel. Pics/video: Is there a common place where...
