So I have been losing a bit of coolant recently, and I went and had it changed and topped up with G10. I asked them to see if they could spot the leak and they said they tightened up the pipes and clips where it could be coming from. 2 weeks past and I have noticed the odd patch of water/coolant und...

Hi folks, a couple of follow ups where can I get the correct coolant for T25, brickwerks is out of stock on the purple stuff. brickwerks says "G13 equivalent" I looked in haynes manual and it talks about G12 (I assume that its been replaced by the newer G13) would this be ok: http://www.eb...

There are 2 guides on how to bleed air from the system but none on actually draining them out.

I assume that I could drain the whole system dry somehow, close the plug, top up with the required amount of coolant
and then top up with water, then go through the bleeding method, is this right ?

Hi folks just a few questions I want to shoot out. The coolant for the WBX type, is it available in normal shops such as halfords? I know the purple stuff is on brickwerks and I am going to order some if I cant get it in the shops. I have done a few small things on my van but I want to be able to do...

the fuel pump

Hi JackE. Is this solenoid responsible for cutting off the petrol so that alternative fuel like LPG can work? if so I cant force it on as i switch between the two.
also do you know where this is on the engine?

i will bleed the system in the morning. Metal in a microwave does not cause trouble if it is submerged under water as the radiation is designed to hit the water molecules which act as a buffer in a way. I would not leave it too long though. The temperature was not boiling but it was hot and the ther...
