hose

What i would love too know why is it a heater hose always gets a hole in it when all the car places are shut.and you have to wait till next day to try and get one, i fitted a bit of garden hose 3/4 and had problems fitting that, but it went on a little just so i can put clip round it for now.always on a bank holiday aswell.lol

What's this 'duck' tape? Ducks rarely need tapinig. Ducts, on the other hand......

it is duct tape, but the brand i use is actually called "duck" duct tape and even has a picture of a duck on it :o) plus you never know when you will be stuck in the wilderness of Norfolk and need to trap a duck for food

can not get a hose from any of these motor factors it has got to be main dealer,which it is going tobe main dealer price, i got a piece of pipe from a parts shop fitted it. now i got to try and get all the air out of the system.which i think is going to take time some one told me best time todo it is when the engine is still hot as the air should move on its own.(never heard of that) when it is hot the level is up to the high mark. when cold it should drop to min mark is this right?

I think you will find that the most likely place to find a duck is the toilet.

Don't you have to put an extension tank on top of the filler to fill it without getting air in because the filler is not the highest point in the system? Haynes suggest a plastic drinks bottle with the bottom cut off. If that's the case then you may finish up draining down and filling from scratch.
