    I haven't tried that one.
    I have always carried a tin of pepper and a bar of soap in my tool bag, The soap is a good temporary fix for pinholes in petrol fuel tanks.
    Old School items But they have got me and more often others out of trouble on a few occasions

    Radiator comes out tomorrow off to the rad specialist, get it rodded and checked.
    Block is pretty clean everywhere we could get the scope into look.
    Glad these don't have water cooled turbos

    I agree.
    I got mine rodded and it failed, The cost of the rodding and flush was more expensive than the New genuine LR radiator I ended up fitting.
