    Have you looked at the "hidden hose" under the turbo. probably first to go as it gets hot.

    I haven't heard of radiators just splitting, but could happen to any plastic tank radiator. It should be pretty obvious by just looking at where the water comes from.

    Get under with a torch and raincoat( probably not necessary in Katherine) fill er up with water and start her up.

    Only you can see what the problem is. To see if it is the radiator, undo the panel behind the stab bar underneath. Then you can see the thermostat , hoses and radiator. It is held on by 4 x phillips head screws.

    You can see better from the top if you remove the top shroud which is held on by 4x big plastic phillips head screws .

    Regards Philip A

    Cool Splash..

    Looks like some time to spend in Katherine! And a bit of a bummer on a Friday, too. Organize a new one from Alice Springs or even Adelaide on Greyhound Freight, perhaps?

    Good luck

    In your place I would order one from a specialist like Roverlord or maybe TRS and have it sent via Toll or TNT to your caravan park or pick up at depot.
    I would think it would cost about $40 to air freight and road. Just a guess, but I got my fuel pipe manifold from perth to Kununurra in 2 days via Toll.

    Go to the hot springs, that will relax you. I reckon they are great and since they have been done up one of the best around.
