[COATESYCARS]

hi just putting my chimaera back on the road after 2 years,does any one have a diagram or know where theh hoses go.ps the hoses went missing.so havent any for a pattern.ta.

Between the engine and the radiator would be good. If you have a swirl tank don't miss that out.



There were a few layouts - what year, where is the swirl tank, do you have one pice or two piece top hose?

[COATESYCARS]

ha,ha,.yeshave 2 auminium tanks one on the left and one near the motor.also have a tank under drivers wing with two small pipes.not the washer bottle!!

[COATESYCARS]

ps its a 99.

[victormeldrew]

I'll have to pass - mines a 96 and probably a bit different! The overflow tank on mine is centrally behind the rad, and you seem to have one more tank than mine.

You after a general layout, or something more detailed? You may find that somebody like ACT can provide a hose set which saves you a lot of hassle.

[COATESYCARS]

thanks.yes i think it could be carbon filter,one end disappears under the car the other end isnt connected!so water wise,only 2 tanks.

[COATESYCARS]

cheers.do you have a number for them?

[COATESYCARS]

thanks for that.went to have a look at one in a showroom,very tatty car.but found were the pipes went,the canister pipe from the carbon tank also wasnt connected!just pretruded into the engine bay 3 inches.
