noticed after setting off from work, that the coolant was maybe 2 degrees higher than normal, but being that it was a searing hot day, i thought nothing of it.
little while later, was on the bypass and went to overrtake someone and the car had no power, so i pulled into the slow lane (thankfully an exit was right there as well) pulled off, and got to a layby off the dual carriageway.
soon as i lifted off the engine cut out, but i was still in fifth, and pulled the clutch off and it ran again, swithched it off, pulled into layby and opened the bonnet, at this point the low coolant light came on.
let the car cool for 10 and gave it a turn, and it started, so turned it straight back off, and allowed it to cool further, then put some water in (thankyou nearby random person with watering can full of water
) but it just poured straight out the bottom metal pipe that runs down the drivers chassis leg beside the bottom pulley.anyway, where the hell am i gonna get this pipe from, cars a 1997 2.1TD, what other models would have the same pipe, as i'm pretty sure NONE of my local scrappies have a 2.1
