I've noticed that I have a slight coolant loss at the moment. I can't see any obvious signs, but could this be the coolant bridge that I hear about?

First port of call would be the HBV, then moving onto the coolant bridge and checking for split pipes

HBV, that's at the back of the plenum by the breather pipes???

Yup, look for the big coolant pipes from heater matrix

Cheers Tunnie!

Will have to wait another day to look as it's been howling all night and day so far with heavy rain

Hiya another place to look at is the drain tap at the bottom of the radiator

Do you know what, I forgot about that one. Easy and simple to check, before delving in at the back of the block and getting lost

Cheers for that one

Viper, either bring it down, or I'll pop up

Cheers for the offer James

I'm meeting my mum near Newport so she can see the kids this saturday coming, are you available in the afternoon?

I would stop by on the way home.

While your looking at the engine, I could swop my cloth mv6 seats for your leather mv6
