[ScaniaV8]

I had same problem late last night after 40mile round trip to Milton Keynes. I have a large jubilee clip on my large bottom Radiator hose which had replaced the original spring clip (not me !). Anyway, after pressurising water was streaming out bottom hose area..hose was not split , lost about 3 litres in total (virtully new coolant, only 4 months old). I re-tightened the jubilee clip temporary and re-filled with 50/50. I have genuine spring clip but looks a b**'ger to fit. Job for the weekend I guess. double check your bottom hose sprin clip is seated properly and as stated check the connector area for splitting.
Good luck..hope you sort it it out ok.

Turns out it is the radiator at fault.

I've ordered the above but it's out of stock until next week, anything else I should consider?

Thanks again.
