After getting charged $1800 by a mechanic to replace my radiator and hoses, I'm set on doing as much as I can myself. I just have some questions that I need some help with please
I've replaced it with a new one that I order from patrol apart and topped up with coolant (I don't have an 'as installed photo): paddynewexpansiontank.png
Question is - is the clear tube meant to be connected to nothing? I assume it's so that air can get in to allow coolant to flow in and out.
2) Windscreen washers
Mine don't work. I had the aforementioned mechanic look at them and he reckons the motors are gone. There is voltage coming in though.
3) See photo below. There are holes in it, I don't know what it's called, but it seem to be an air intake of some description. 20180121_162259.jpg
I taped up the lower bit with the silver heat resistant tape (it probably ins't airtight, but an improvement, but the top black bit I can't do anything about. Can someone please explain to me what these component are, and if I can easily replace them myself. Since that big hose runs into the air filter, I suppose I should get a new air filter too. Any recommendations? The manual says there are two types, one which must be cleaned occasionally and one which must be replaced occasionally.
