Any chance of getting a pic of that hose? just for future reference.
Heres pics as requested

Tell me about it,,,,,, thank you know who for CRC and 6 hex sockets.
Didn't help with arm all bruised up , blood test gone wrong
Nearly back together , not a big job but a PITB having to remove the front of the
motor to gain access.
Waiting on my son to give me a hand with the belt then its just the fan and shroud.

Ok all up and going , well after all it was only a change of that hose.
have organised my mate to check the exhaust fumes for me.
Funny how my Ecu-Talk says I still have about 75% on the water in exhaust
gauge ICV rating I think that is what Peter from Ecu-talk said.
Still great power, no bubbles in coolant [water] exhaust not making
any popping noises either. Ill wait and see what test says
ended up doing the belt myself PITB but its on
All things X for you mate the belt is not bad after you've done a couple more LOLQuote:

if the trol is off the road again.
ICV has nothing to do with water in exhaust. How would they even measure this on the ZD30??.Quote:

I remember talking to you about 2 years ago regarding this and your coolant loss.
Yeah that was right the higher the % the better the pump?
My bad ,,,,again lol

Still believe that you need to get it to a shop and let them give the whole cooling system a once over.
When you get it there (a workshop) if you need a ride to get back home or to pick it up yell out.

If On Track 4x4 are open Saturday morning I see if Andrew can test it as well??
That is a long way to go to a mechanic John. Don't know or trust anybody your side ??
Those 60km each way will definitely test the car then.
Ive done over 100k today without any hiccups, Ill more than
likely see Andrew at On-Track saturday morning if he's open.
I want to get the coolant in it to lower the temps a tad more
Good guess its 60k on the button to get there
On track is literally around the corner from me. Pop in for a beer if you wantQuote:

As it is I'm not losing water or is it getting hot, How long it will last like this is anyones guess.
you should try leaving everything as it should be? like the cap on properly etc, maybe the head isnt as bad as you thinkQuote:

As it is now it stays at 88c and lower
lets wait till its tested lol
