Following on from the previous thread, I've just bought a '98 C2 Tip.
On the way home from the sale, 2 litres of coolant simply disappeared. No sign of leaks, drips, white marks, tho there was a faint smell of coolant from the engine area.
Word back from the garage today is that they pressurised the system and cannot find a leak.
I've asked them to take the PU off and inspect the rads, clear debris etc, which they've done. They tell me the rads have recently been replaced.
Any thoughts?
Was the system just not pressurised enough?
Could it be that there has been air trapped in the system waiting to bubble up when the car got a good work out? (Spirited drive followed by 30 mins in stop start traffic)
Any other ideas?
Thanks!
PS , some pics are due I suppose... very happy with how she has weathered her years, no rust to speak of, a little surface only on the radiator brackets, this being sorted and protected.
