Aaagh!
On Monday I had the leaking o/s/r suspension cylinder replaced with a good one I got from the A5 scrapyard near MK. On the way home from the indie, the stop light kept flashing which I thought might be low Lhm, although the indie said he'd topped it up. Any way when I got a good look I realised it was a water level light! I checked it when I got home and the rad took about 1 litre. So now I don't know if this is an ongoing leak since I've had the car (done 2-3000 miles) or a new development. I'll keep my eye on it for now. -------------------- Dave.

Hi Demag
If you can stick a sheet of white faced hardboard about a metre square under the engine and radiators while parked up overnight then you can see how much has dripped and get an idea of where from. The small front radiator is a common suspect. Regards XMexc -------------------- An interest in 2.5TD's.
