Has anyone got a pic of the coolant fitting a metal T-piece that screws in the block above the starter motor as mine is leaking and I don't want to clean it to see if it's that or just the hose leaking... If I take the hoses off and it breaks I'm stuck...

It'll be the hoses man... after all these years, a heater hose springing a leak is pretty common, they dont have the best clamps on them either.. u might be able to get away with just trimming the end of the hose 1" and re clamping it, but usually they're pretty heat affected and they'll just fall apart with a bit of yanking etc.

Just the hose that will ok, I just didn't like the idea of trying to change that fitting after all these years and very limited room where it is.... Cheers for the reply Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
