Not the HBV but the rather oil cooler cover has a 4mm x 4mm hole in it just by the front banjo bolt.
Is it possible to buy just the cover or perhaps get the hole welded over?
-
Blimey, that must be one hell of a leak!
....must be a few on here who have a spare cover as the kit comes with one when you do a replacement,
Be warned though....its not un-common for the rear cooler to plate fixing nut to become seized and strip the threads when you remove it resulting in you needing a new cooler as well....

The car dumped nearly all the coolant over City Road in about 10 seconds!!
Finish stripping everthing off tomorrow ready for the weekend when everything goes back together.
I have the DVD re cambelt but any tips on removing and refitting cams?

Or snapping the bolt off, which I did to TB's project :(
Andy - If you take the oil cooler out, my advice fit new bolts :y

New banjo bolts?
-
cant remember if I asked but anyone got a trade card I can use to get cambelt kit and water pump plus other sundries like inlet mainfold seals etc?
On a side note are the gates belt kits and other brand water pumps on e-gay worthwhile?
-

soz, i chucked my spare plate away about 3 weeks ago...
-

They come out fine, but going in can snap. We were lucky on TheBoys project they did'nt got that far in, I was able to get them out again, after having a lamp smashed over my head ::)

i've fixed that leadlamp now - you head ain't as solid as i thought... ;D

Never known a banjo bolt snap......so no need to replace....
Its not these that strip the cooler threads....its the bigger flat nut that secures the cooler to the plate...

You know what Tunnie is like shearing bolts ;D
Still, I can't blame Tunnie - he hasn't the strength to shear a bolt intentionally.... ;)
-
Isn't there a stretch on the banjo bolts for the oil cooler? If so and they have been out before they could shear.

I just look at a bolt and it falls to pieces! :'(

No stretch....there is an angle tighten but, this is to crush the sealing washer...

Here's the pic of the old cooler cover...spot anything unusual?!?!?!
Just waiting on the 30mm spanner to arrive from e-bay then can get the cam belt back on(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y192/Road-Riders/Omega/oilcoolercover.jpg)
-
Its only supposed to have 2 holes....
-
all round that corner the underside is very corroded....but seeing the car is 8 1/2 years old not bad I guess?

My guess is the coolant has been neglected....
