    I won't connect it up to my fuel pump relay :-)

    I managed to find a U shaped pipe in Repco yesterday and also two blanks, so what I did was redirect the heater flow back to itself - no worries! And I put a bolt with washer into the little hoses at the throttle body & silicone gasket maker all over them, then put the blanks over the end and hose clamped it all up!

    I feel so dodgy - I haven't blanked off coolant hoses since my holden red motor days! I might do something more permanent when I have more time for the throttle body ones. And once i've done the o-rings in the heater core i'll re-connect the heater hoses!

    It doesn't leak.... For now!

    Cheers

    For a neater appearance on the throttle body, remove the small pipes and apply a pea-sized dollop of black silicone RTV over each opening , smooth it off and let it set...
