Quick and simple solution, disconnected input + output of the throttle body heater and connected them together with a hose connector. And extra clamps just to be sure. Hope the connector is rated for at least 120⁰C. Any issues with this setup before I take it for a test drive?

Thanks, I'll have a look in the morning for some suitable pipes/hoses to join them together

Would that just be a case of removing the two hoses and connecting them together? Or just get one length of house and connect them both on their sources?

Right, been at it today with the pressure testing. Warmed the engine up, then fitted the pressure tester. Went to about 14 psi. Waited about half an hour, and the pressure had dropped to about 11 psi: And after an hour, it was just shy of 8 psi: So I'm definitely losing pressure to...

Always something else with these cars 😆 Went to the garage yesterday for wheel alignment, I told them there was a slight exhaust smell in the cabin and asked them to look in to it. They said the gaskets they used when fitting new cats for it's MOT hadn't been fitted properly, and they would...

Afternoon, The car wash made off with my rear door rubbing strip! I got it back, but need to fix it back on properly. I've noticed that one of the holes in the door is missing the blue grommet, so the clip isn't staying in: Anyone know where I can get one of these from? Or any alternative...

Will give that a go this afternoon

Sorry should have clarified, When I had a bigger coolant leak in the past, a stain was being left on the driveway. Now there's no stain being left, so I don't have any clues.

I do check under the bonnet when I get home, and haven't spotted anything obvious yet. The coolant also tends to leave a distinct stain on my driveway for a few days. It's going in for suspension work later this week, so I'll ask the guys to have a quick look while the car is up on the ramps

I've not noticed any leaks or puddles around the cap, so I hadn't thought about replacing it yet. It does sometimes screw on funny, so maybe it's worth a punt for a few quid

One month later, foot well is nice and dry. No signs of any interior leaks. Still losing a small amount of coolant every few days, topping up once a week currently. Haven't found the source of it yet. Pressure test holds well, and no leaks spotted under the car. Probably something deeper...

Ended up shortening the driver's side latch bolt and lengthening the passenger side one, that seemed to get the bonnet opening fairly reliably. I'll probably have to make some micro adjustments to find the sweet spot

Britpart is where I got mine too. Was thinking they might be a bit long. I tried to line the bolts up with the cleaner metal on the bracket to get it close to the original LR position, but it's definitely not exactly as it was. I might put a stack of small O rings on the end of the cable to...

Hello I recently bought a replacement bonnet catch (driver's side, UK) to replace the existing one which wasn't working well. The old one only had one bolt holding it in, so it would hang slightly and get jammed. I replaced it, along with a new set of bonnet cables (pain to fit!) If I remove...

All done. Bought some M5 x 25mm bolts from Wickes this morning and it went in first time. Bracket lines up properly and all. Shame it was a 50 pack - anybody need 49 spare bolts? 😆 Pressure tested to 15 psi for about 10 mins, and no leaks were seen. Pressure held too. Started it up and let...
