On my 4.6 petrol Thor engine, the top hose between rad, engine & Tee down to thermostat was one piece, now a plastic tee piece & 3 separate hoses. My Britpart hose assembly lasted 5 months before the molded Tee piece broke. Money refunded but replaced it with a Bearmach one. Look for previous...

Talk to Warren at A to Z LPG in New Malden. Top BRC multipoint install on my 4.6 P38.

I am using the Android app Torque for the same reason you want it for. My car is a 2000 Thor 4.6 though. You will need a Bluetooth obd scan tool, something from Amazon like this..... Auto Car Diagnostic Scan Tool ELM327 Mini Interface V1.5 Bluetooth Version OBD2.

Mine also sits just below centre. I have the phone app Torque running on Android. Last week on holiday to Cornwall towing a twin axle caravan, I used the app to monitor water temperature & other readings but mainly temperature. Temperature ranged from 95 degree C on the flat upto 110 degree C...

Where are you, someone on here might have one you can try before you buy.

I recently needed 2 Front tyres & chose Nexen Roadians as I had them all round. I used etyres.co.uk & they came to my house & fitted the following :- 2 x 255/60/18/H/4x4 Nexen Roadian 542 Total cost £216.40 including fitting, balancing & old tyre removal. Didn't think that was too bad & very...

Where are you based, someone local might share their diagnostics?

Bearmach Part arrived, only obvious difference is that hoses are fitted with clamped hose clips as opposed to screw tightened clips with the Britpart one. Perhaps the Britpart was overtightened on assembly prior to sale but cannot be sure obviously. Hopefully no damage has been done due to...

Bearmach replacement ordered, Britpart one will be on its way back to Island 4x4 for a refund. (Thanks Island 4x4) Will report back on the Bearmach part.

My Corsa failed an MOT recently & amongst the failings was 'battery not secure'. Clamp had been slid back during battery rechargeing & forgot to tighten it up.

Island 4x4 offered full refund or replacement on return of the offending part. Thanks for that Island 4x4. In the meantime I have to fit a new part, Island uses Britpart. I can purchase a Bearmach one but the pictures look the same. Which would you buy?

Sorry wolf. Just a way of directing post to a particular person.

@kevwill Too true but the hoses come pre-fitted & tightened on purchase. Hopefully, engine not fried.

Sorry guys, should have known better. I have edited the original post. 2000 V8 4.6 Thor Vogue.

2000 V8 4.6 Thor Vogue Top hose split 5 months ago leaving me stranded on the M4. Recovery to the rescue. Hose is approx 40mm from top of radiator to engine with approx 30mm hose down to thermostat in one piece. Replacement was a plastic T-piece with 3 individual hoses. This lasted 5 months...

@Datatek I have just entered Eiffel Tower as a destination and it showed Paris on the map with Waze users close by. However it failed to calculate a route from my location in Heathrow. So it appears the maps work, maybe the channel upset the routing part. It is free so a quick download will...

Many people on this forum offer their own diagnostics free to fellow owners, but I suspect you might have difficulty getting help in this case.

I know many of you use your mobiles for sat/nav but I just wanted to give a heads up to one I have just found. I use Copilot, Navigon, Igo as well as the google map navigation but have a look at this if you haven't already..... https://www.waze.com/ This is really great as the traffic...

Steve Plug into diagnostics to see the live data for the MAF. Mine was reading low so a new Bosch MAF transformed the running of the car. Everybody on here at the time suggested NOT buying anything other than a Bosch & I am glad I listened.
