Coolant hoses?

[nutcase]

As I posted last night- my courtesy Tamora started spewing it's guts up yesterday, and I managed (with some difficulty!) to see that it was one of the hoses from the Radiator which was leaking.

In your guys experience, is this easily fixable as I need the car this weekend.

The dealership has organised for recovery/mechanic to come over and have a look, but I suppose it all depends on whether it is actually a split hose, a loose connection or maybe even a busted Rad.

By the way, it's coming from the LHS of the car as you look at the bonnet.

It will most likely be a loose connection somewhere. Happened on mine a few weeks ago and on the Demo car I had before that. Took the chaps no more than 15 minutes to get mine sorted.

Thanks Boss, makes me feel more at ease! The car was getting very hot (obviously!), even though there was very little loss whilst running???

Have just heard that the AA are 15 minutes away, so hopefully they'll be able to sort it.

Cheers guys.

They tend not to lose to much whilst on the move as the engine is very hot causing the coolant pipes to expand.....this tightens the grip the 'O' clip has on the end.......it's when they cool down again that the pipes start to shrink and then leak.
