Hi Gang, just a wee question,
My RRC is now running great due to all the help i got on here and changing a few things with her. Last month i went a run up to loch lomond and all was great. When i was returning i thought i'd stop in for a break and take in some views, just as well i did, steam was coming out from the bonnet. When i inspected it, it was caused by a small hole in the water pipe going from the radiator to the engine at the top. So after letting her cool down and filling her back up with loch lomond water and wrapping the hose up in duck tape, we got under way.
Every 10 minutes i stopped and checked all was ok, i think i put too much water in as there was some escaping from the expansion tank. So after i drained some out to about half way down the tank, off i went again. All seems ok now but finally getting to the question,
When i take her for a good run and then stop, i always check under the bonnet, i have noticed that there is a very small air leaking sound from the expansion tank. I have squeezed the hoses and they seem to have a bit of pressure in them but not rock solid. I was just wondering if this is the norm or do you think my thermostat is playing up?
Sorry to babble on.
