Retroanaconda Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Is it damaged or leaking? Inverness 4x4 are pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightning Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Did you get it sorted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambo110 Posted August 27, 2021 Author Share Posted August 27, 2021 Apologies for delay .. yep got it sorted. Loch carron garage services were very helpful. Part turned out to be 4 days away. Kids weren’t happy. I managed to source a part myself then the garage sent 1 of their guys to collect.. 3.5hrs later it was here. Fitted myself in half hour then back on with the trip.. kids happy again. So far temp not gone above 90 Cheers fellas 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambo110 Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 Cheers fellas.. all back home again now after 2100miles. No more issues. Apart from a funny noise when at 70mph. I’ll look into that next week. forgot to take pic of rad damage but it was basically split where the red pen is in pic below. The plastic here is about 5mm thick so I would of thought a hose or something else would of given up first. maybe manufacturing defect. hey ho cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missingsid Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Having owned a D3 I have replaced/repaired most of the plastic cooling parts as it crumbles to dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambo110 Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 Hmmm .. pretty sure the rad was fairly newish.. 2017 I think but probably only 1500 miles max. Would of expected something else to give first. Hey ho.. all good for now 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
