Thread: BOILING OVER! AND THE DISCO TOO.

This is it! I've had enough (insert swear words here!) Two weeks ago I blew a heater hose, SWMBO and four kids in the car, 40'C, towing trailer, peak hour traffic etc...All sorted, pain in the butt but close enough to get help thankfully. Last week coolant bleeding out from metal lines under power steering, shroud out nipped em' up all good...yesterday little expansion hose leaking GRRRR! Today she's up on the temp guage (again)... I see expansion tank is now split and while staring and swearing I notice the bottom radiator hose is swollen up like a biggest loser contestant. This car is becoming a never ending repair case, I wouldn't think I bought a lemon but SWMBO's "family car" has not gone a week without some sort of repair. Dare I say "I WANT MY 60 SERIES LANDCRUISER BACK!!!"

Good luck

Yes exactly but not a TD5, it does seem like all of a sudden there's far to much pressure in the system, hence one new hose blows the next and so on. I'm now in possession of a new expansion tank but now I guess it would be silly to fit, I sure hope I haven't warped a head.
