I am going to get a small camera on a lead with an led on to see if I can see where this insert is before I run my motor and fill it with antifreeze

Was that plastic then the insert??

Did you find the insert that had dropped out of the bleed valve ?

How do you get more advice/comments on here? Always used to be so good when I had my Defender years back!!

Hi its the original moulded hose, I think the helicoil thats dropped off was plastic, had radiator off and thermostat no sign of it, any ideas? What type of hose you got on yours?

Hi anyone experienced the top hose bleed screw thread dropping out into the pipe and going somewhere in the water system? Checked radiator and thermostat no sign of it! Not sure if it was brass or plastic, All I know is the thread is no longer there! Any advice please?

This is what I have removed and done so far, Waiting for a new oil cooler and gaskets to come so I can do it all again

Removed Britpart oil cooler which was covered in crud, Pressure tested in a bucket of water, Pin hole in the middle of it with around 4bar of pressure on it, Also noticed when I stripped the motor that the oil breather pipe on the rocker has gone really hard.

I changed the oil cooler for the same reason as above.

cheers mate
