Coolant leak?

[tuscan_s]

I just parked the car up and suddenly, liquid starts to spray over the drivers side front radiator/fan from behind the bolted down bonnet.

It spilt over the splitter (Tuscan S) and is now filling the gutter.

Any ideas? I thought maybe I hadn't put the cap on tightly but there is nothing coming from the cap area....

Here is a picture of where the liquid was spraying from...

AA man came and it was indeed the coolant hose. It looks like a stanley knife had cut right through.

Need to get a replacement next week though.

Sorry jigs but your comments are not constructive at all. The main bonnet is a bit of a pain but we did it in 2 minutes.

And if you bothered to read up on the Tuscan you will know that the bonnet is bolted to make it more rigid and so they could improve airflow.

Yeah. I think he owns a Grif. Being an unconstructive fool at the moment.

Not really. Why would it annoy you? Do you *need* to look under the bonnet for any reason? I don't. Unless it's to fill the oil, water etc but oh yes, TVR have included a service bonnet for that.

I have had 1 problem in nearly 1 years ownership so it doesn't bother me if I can't unhinge the whole bonnet.

Your comments are sometimes useful and yes, there is nothing wrong with asking questions but you don't always ask, you assume.

Please ask useful questions or say you wish something was the case, not TVR are knobs etc. You will only shame yourself.
