    >Water flowing in bowl when cold

    Thanks for all this information. The big radiator hose if very soft, it feels like foam. I can squash it very easy with just 2 fingers I've ordered the parts, I will change them and let you know..

    >Water flowing in bowl when cold

    Thanks for this. The bowl and cap are new. I don't understand. The radiator water circuit should be closed when the engine is cold, why is water flowing from the radiator ?

    >Water flowing in bowl when cold

    Hi Everyone, When the car is cold and engine off, some pipes are squashed (see picture) When I start the engine, I see water flowing in the bowl (see Video) http://labarette.free.fr/xfer/freelander/FreelanderBowl.mp4 I think this is not normal (?) What do you think ? Thanks

    Failing hydraulic clutch, How long do I have ?

    I made it home no problem. Thanks for your help. I read somewhere that if you could take only 3 tools with you, it should be : - WD40 - Some kind of adhesive tape - A pair of pliers.
