hmmm.....I think i'd like that very much if you'll sell it me?!

yh these do look a fun toy, a very modern or even futuristic art tool.

yeah, finding a proper replacement is difficult other than Milners - they are £36 for the bottom hose and I think £15 for the top hose.. was hoping to replace with something just as good but cheaper...!

:lol:lol:thumbs

hey chaps I want to replace both my radiator hoses. Ive found some but they are expensive, and ive seen that you can get flexible radiator hoses from most motor factors etc are those any good...

sweeeeet!!!! F14's in there??

hmmm..never noticed, ill take a look :thumb2

can I add to this? I want to do this myself, as ive got a little rust right at the back. NOw, my car isn't a sunroof model, and I thought the rear of the outer sill rusted due to the drain pipes from the sunroof not draining out of the back. soooo....the water that causes the rust on a LWB...

yay for payday! impulse wise I bought a Wikipad 7 from Ebuyer, got a 40" Samsung Smart TV to pick up Tuesday (cheap) and buying some Fertan type stuff for the terrano this weekend for the jobs im doing! MIght also buy some tools.....I like tools...:thumbs

oh im brave! there is no way i'm leaving it. I have to fix it, or it will bug me, plus I like learning, and if this is a common unknown issue for others, then I can feed back the results, hurrah!

but is it likely that it is under pressure with the engine off? I'd say not, as it only leaks (I presume) when the engine is hot and running... otherwise id have oodles of oil lost....

not sure Alex. Best I can describe it is its like a oil sump plug, or a differential plug...so I assume its probably alright, and perhaps an O-Ring is in there or it simply needs some ptfe. I do wonder how common a thing this actually is....its very difficult to spot, and loss of oil isn't even...

hmm..looks like we are onto something! Well, my plan is to adjust the top bolt thing first - the bottom one has a spring/valve wotsit so im not touching that first, plus id loose all my oil ... ill let you know what I find, but I suggest giving yours a clean, then see if its leaking the same...

here we go - got this from MakeITFit. Clearly it shows a spring at the bottom, but that isn't where it is leaking. At the top, where the hex bolt is, there isn't any identification. What do you think, safe to undo? seems it to me...

eeeek....good point, ill be careful!! actually i think I had a diagram - I wonder if that shows it, ill go check...

cheers guys, definitely the oil cooler then. Thankfully it looks like its leaking out if that "blanking plug" or whatever it is. You can just see it seeping out so I assume under pressure it blobs a teeny bit more out. Its not a massive leak, but one I want to fix. As said, I will loosen it, or...

I saw ya!! some sexy ladies working at your spot...........:thumbs

anyone?? I cant find anything that tells me what this thing actually is?!

ok chaps, would you please take a look at this. Couple of days since cleaning the area, now you can clearly see the oil weeping out of that thing on the left with the big allen key style fitting on top. Me and my mate studied it, we can see oil weeping out the threads and down. I tried to...

I suppose I could fit another on less damaged rubber, but I will see how it goes. The hose is around £30 new, so I may well invest in replacing both RAD hoses in the near future but until then Im happy its sorted! :thumbs
