Title: Urgent, part needed
Post by: Bettyblue22 on December 27, 2007, 14:42:34

badgersrover is on his way into north London, and the radiator top hose has given up the ghost and is leaking coolant.
has anybody in that area, got a discovery 200 tdi radiator top hose for sale etc. as all of the landrover garages in the area haven't got the part in stock.
many thanks

Tell him to find a Halfords or bike shop and get a fat innertube cut it slip it over the original hose and wrap it with loads of tape. Bit of a bodge but it does work :)

Hey guys, still got the problem, the issue is that its got the "Kenlowe Drip" so the innertube thing wont work as its leaking where the pipe meets the radiator.
