    Have checked all the hoses and can find any that seem split and nothing showed up under the pressure test that I had a mechanic do :confused:

    Coolant issue - help!!

    The hose isn't too squishy or too hard... will flex with medium pressure

    Coolant issue - help!!

    Hi tottot... thanks for the response :) I have checked the expansion tank and the only thing I found was the cap was buggered (so replaced it) no sign of leaks from the tank itself when pressure tested... the pipe in the pic's seems to come from the bulkhead by the expansion tank and the...

    What have you done on your 90/110/130 today?

    Could it be as simple as a buggered expansion tank cap? (pressure tested and new silicone hoses fitted and all good there)... would explain the coolant sprayed al over the inside of the bonnet around the tank :rolleyes:, but am I really that lucky? Guess I find out tomorrow when the new one...

    LED Headlights

    Firstly welcome Matt. My advise on the LED headlights is spend a little more and go for recognised ones (Truck, etc.) rather than cheap sets from eBay... from personal experience getting these cheaper sets (even if DOT approved) can cause issues in getting the correct alignment and will lead to...

    Defender 90 for NewBorn

    Welcome to the forum. In answer to your original question (speaking from having a 15mth old and a 90)... you'll struggle to get ISOfix fitted, as the rear seats are either side facing (minimum age for use of these seats is 12 years) or forward facing which fold up to the side, therefore not...
