My Sunday Repair. Day

[gaz832 7 1 Cars]

well folks. looks like the pug had enough on saturday night, was at my local petrol station for some goodies, as i was only going in and out i left it running, came out the garage and just caught out the corner of my eye a massive puddle under the car, i thought to myself that wasnt there when i parked up. looked under the car and sure enough it had popped a hose. manage to fill it up quick and get down the road. so this morning it was leak hunting time. the hose had popped of here. so once that was fixed i noticed a slight oil leak, and again it was a popped hose. fixed that and gave the bottom of the engine a good degreasing, so far i havent had any oil or water dripping from it. have been out for a few hours in it today so it all seems fine. think i will order a full sillicone hose kit for it as the pipes on it just now are at least 20 years old . so this was how my sunday went. .

Happens to us all mate! I remember the first time a hose split on mine, i was booting it big time down the ring road and all of a sudden the rear view mirror was filled with smoke / steam, then the electrics shorted out, it soaked the alarm and all the lights, alarm and indicators came on at once. Was an interesting drive home! A silicone hose kit is probably a good idea, as you say, all the pipes are 20 years old now
