I have coolant leaking from the water pump on my td5. I assume the pump has died. It is only a slow leak. ie an inch in 2 days

Will I be able to make the 3 hour drive on the Hume highway home if I top up the reservoir and keep an eye on it with my tm2 temp gauge?

Cheers
Matt

Matt, top it up, drive 1/2 hour, check and do that at regular times on the trip and you will get a good idea of usage in the first hour. if it is slow it is unlikely to drrop its guts suddenly. Just keep an eye on it and you should be ok.

That's what I figured. Thanks Scott.
