I bought a set of snap on 20 odd years ago I estimate. still work a treat and life saver. Make sure you get ones with the smallest angle to ratchet you can so they work in confined spaces.Quote:

I have a set of those, and a set of the flex head ones. The only time the fixed head ones come out are in super tight spaces where the extra bulk of the flex head gets in the way. I can probably count those on one hand and I'd have probably managed with a conventional ring spanner.Quote:

We were so lucky that there was somewhere to pull over virtually as it happened. NRMA Complete Care got us towed back to Batemans Bay, the Disco on the back and the Exodus towed behind.
Luckily our usual mechanic is in Batemans Bay and he had us back on the road by Thursday. The interconnector between the heads was the culprit apparently and no other apparent damage done. It's a horrible feeling seeing steam coming out and then worrying about the damage that might have been done. We've made it to Brisbane, not without the drama of a " Low coolant level" alarm. The coolant level is fine and we monitored the coolant temperature via our IID tool which stayed at an acceptable level apart from up the hill out of Wooloongong. It's an odd one because it would disappear in the morning when we started up but come back in the afternoon, while we were driving up.
Still thanking our lucky stars we were able to pull over so quickly, still love the Disco [smilebigeye]
Glad to hear it got fixed . I'm near Narooma, who do you use in The Bay!
