Think I had a bit of a win, that corroded pipe broke so I could just fit a new longer piece of hose.
went around the block a few times and temps were good. Before I would have lost coolant and
over heated , just need to keep and eye on it, a couple of drips when I got back
but Ill put that down to expansion
Hopefully there are a few dead ZD30's at the local 4x4 shop I can snaffle that pipe off
and replace mine.
Found some 5/16 copper pipe on Ebay that will probably last longer.
I have a pipe bender as well .
@ Roofy yes it goes to the EGR, thanks
I'm sure there will be plenty.Quote:

So I think I can safely say its OK now,
I'll still replace the oe pipe with some 8mm copper,
combined with the new overflow tank my cooling system is re-co'ed

My expansion tank was replaced as it was deemed to be brittle etc when my radiator had a working bee on it after I found a few drops of coolant under it on the concrete floor in the garage.
Stuff just does not last; it was an Aug 1989 build and it only lasted until mid 2015. Suppose the brakes will need to be looked at some time too!
Im still losing water but not over heating ,
looking from underneath I think my water pump is leaking.
Need this sorted asap besides being a daily ,Cod opening is very soon lol
You're probably sick of me mentioning this but I suggest you take the Patrol somewhere where they see zd30s daily like 4x4 obsession in Melton and make sure your timing over isn't leaking.
I was in the same mind set as you, thinking it was this and that, water pump, coolant tank... Hoping it wasn't the timing cover but in the end it was. At least that way you'll stop second guessing everything.

When I spoke to Brett as 4 x4 obsession he said they do 3-4 a week .... They will know the moment they see it if it is the cover or not.
