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

 

sods law i think they call it,
i always carry a roll of duck tape in the boot, works wonders and is good
for all sorts of make do repairs.

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 )
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.

 

I have got very nice heat. and it is hot with the temp gauge at
normal.think i have got it done now all i have todo now is check it sat
mor and sunday mor at work..

 

Yes it went well today and temp seems o,k and heat in the car is very
good.next job is to stop that bloody noise coming from the fan belt .
which i have been told it needs doing up as it is too loose,(o.k when
hot) i will get under there now iam back after having a double herina
op.unless some one out there near me feels like doing it lol lollol.
