Title: I"m a bit stumped ?? Where is it all going
Post by: burgerman on October 30, 2007, 20:43:07: In short i would like to borrow a coolant system pressure tester???? The type that fixes to the header tank and pump up, to see where the leak is,

Shortened story i have a 3.5 V8 disco which seems to aquired a thirst for coolant, no obvious leaks no water in oil or visa versa, no increased level on dipstick, runs sweet as a nutty thing, dont overheat, just uses coolant ?? hoping to test it hot n cold with the tester attatched to see where its going ??

Will take as long as it takes you to drink your complimentary cuppa :lol:

Its your Rad, any amount of money on it.

The noise that it was making on Sat certainly points that way and I did see corrosion on there. I'd suspect that the stops on those fans have done it :( Fill her up, go for a good blast to get her nice and toasty and look arround the rust marks. Might ecven be worth using your laser pointer as the steam will make the beam visible.

I thought you were aware the rad had an issue else I'd have make a bigger fuss of it. :(

Cheers for reminding me though :D

P.S ordered the fuse box thingy ( i like fuses me :lol: ) and a few hundred different connecters yesterday,
