Hi,
I had a bit of a bump the other week in my omega but nothing serious just a new slam bar fitted and a new bumper fitted and all looks fine now, BUT when i fill her with water (coolant) it is just running right out again and it is running out at the very bottom on the drivers side and it looks like the black bit of plastic just before the water reaches the bottom of the radiator, i say again the water is runing right out of the system before it even reaches the readiator and this is on the drivers side, does anyone have any idea what this is pleas, cheers!

Sorry to hear of your problem!!!
Did they need to remove your radiator at all when refitting bumper etc?
If it is pouring out , sounds like a hose is disconnected.
Can you trace where it is draining from?
I'm sure someone will be more precise about where to look, but if it is pouring out
sounds like a hose to me.
Good luck

hey,
i replaced the bumper etc myself, it appears to be running out from a black plastic connector just before it gets to the radiator.

A picture will help...

bottom coolant hose okay Andy ?

i managed to get right underneath the car today and have a look and it turns out that when i had my bump the small plastic peg at the bottom of the radiator snapped off and broke throught the bottom of the plastic connector, would a radiator form a 2.0L work fine in a 3.0L?

They are listed as different parts, so unlikely.
