Hi Artic, what a great set of pictures and a really detailed explanation. I have seen a multitude of ways to do this but yours is by a mile the best I have seen, It removes a lot of the issues surrounding how to get the old fluids out without getting smothered and covering the inside to the...

Hi Dippypud I will double check the vessel too, I have had a look today after a drive out yesterday and the level seems to be the same with no drop when the lid is removed. It may be a really small pin hole or a crack in something that only becomes evident when the water gets a lot hotter. It...

Hi Nodge68. I will have a look at the pump some time soon as I am planning to take the inner wheel arch linings out to check for any rust or mud etc, I will probable need to do this to re fit the fog lamp hold on the n/s anyway so doing both will be no issue. The leak issue has only been evident...

Hi Nodge68 I think I must have remembered it wrong myself, when I bought it a few years back the first thing I did was get the cam belt and water pump changed and the guy I used was a decent mechanic so I am certain he would have used the right stuff. I think it must be something to do with my...

Hi Nodge68 That sounds like a very feasible answer, I will check where the level goes to when hot and where it is when cold tomorrow, perhaps it may be as simple as a new cap for the reservoir and my over worrying will be put to rest. In any case thanks for the advice. Regards TonyG

Hi Blue beasty Thanks for the reply also, I will have a look in the reservoir to ensure it is only water and anti freeze mix not anything else.

Hi Nodge68 many thanks for the reply, I have not seen any fluid on top of the water in the reservoir but will treble check that before I start it today. I will be out in it today so will look first thing tomorrow to see if it is in fact pressurised. On a side note I for some reason thought...

Hi Nodge68 Thanks for that. It may be that I am over analysing things. The first time it was low was after I hit a deer and a few days later I checked the inside of the engine bay etc and all looked fine. Then a low fluid light came on so I topped up with 50/50 water antifreeze to the cold fill...

Hi Nodge68 Many thanks for the reply, do you know if there is an easy way to check the auto transmission fluid on my fl2 by any chance?

Hi Rock basher , before I do that, which seems to be a simple solution. What would cause the drop in fluid level if there is no evidence of leaks under the vehicle or in the engine compartment. I realise the sealant may well stop the water draining out but I am quite concerned as to where it may...

Hello All probably a simple answer and I have an idea of the cause but wanted someone in the know to provide a definitive answer. Recently hit a deer on ns front not too hard but damaged fog light and dented bumper. All pushed out by hand and light on way to being replaced. Some time after the...
