So I was in sydney yesterday in the stupid 45 degree heat, stuck in traffic.
"hey babe, what is that smell and why is there steam on the front window"
OH BOY!!
Pulled over and found out the top tank was leaking something chronic.
Thankfully I had a mate who was working at just jap who was kind enough to let me buy an alloy radiator over the phone and deliver it out o me with some tools. We got the old one out, as we were putting the new one in we realized the drain bung on mine was in a different place to the alloy one.
Problem?
No worries, worked out we could use one of the plastic cell inspection plugs on my battery and screw it into the radiator.
Filled it up, bled the air out and made it back to Canberra by about midnight with less than 100ml leaking out from the bush mechanic drain plug.
Still hell cheaper than a tow back.
