    Coolant Leak Found

    I suppose this means a new set of hoses required?

    That's also a sod to get on and off cleanly down there - much easier if you take the whole thermostat out anyway and probably worthwhile replacing all 3 hoses that go onto it in one go.

    I found it easier with fan off. Less scratch on your hands

    Thanks all,
    Looks like I will be replacing all the hoses and the thermostat. Anyone know a good supplier for this sort of stuff?

    You're in Moe...

    Massaro in Morwell still? Otherwise pick one of the vendors advertised on this site. A squeezy remote steel hose clamp remover (about $65) is a really good accessory to have when you're dealing with these hose clamps, too.

    When I had to replace my thermostate i also replaced all the hose clamps as the geniuneones IMO are rubbish and hard to get off and when you put them back on they need to be in the same spot, also you cant tighten then,
    i think for under $20 i replaced all of them
