Fifty Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Set off home from work -- noticed steam ; now even I know thats not right. next thing gauge goes lets say HIGH! Pull over to finfd the stupid top hose has come off! All my new lovely red water gone. Fortunately a friend game past and I was able to fill with Spring water from several bottles. Now Ive got to refil with Toyota red - bollox but hey another 20 yards and K A B O O M bye bye engine. Car seems to have suffered nought; but my shiny engine bay is naffed.

AndyT Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Lucky man. The no. of people who keep on going beggars belief mate. There is no water involved in the coolant bud. 8 or 9 litres of proper coolant from mr T will be the order of the day. Regards Fifty.
