Ian (hairyDan..confusing) I'd appreciate it if I could ask you to see if you have 2 little outlets at the top of the rad (drivers side), a few pics of a few things would solve my problems Cool

If you do have two could you take a pic of which one goes to the expansion tank and where the other goes to please?

That will help heaps (for now) thank you Thumbs Up

Good looking engines guys, looking a bit more advanced than my 3.5 carb Rolling with laughter

Ok here was my V8 engine bay before I sold her to pay for the 110. I do miss the old girl with that beautiful V8 burble.

You b*^#%#ds. Always have and am still hankering after a V8. Big Cry

About to sell my wife's mini, worth roughly 5-large, would that cover a Corvette V8 or similar. Think she's planning 'interior' decorations. Sad . Might sneak a grand away and 'tweak' her new TT Whistle Monsieur Le Grenadier

I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list.....

What's the car MCMA? Can see an Audi logo on a hose and perhaps a HUD on the dash, so thinking RS6? Lovely carbon upgrades :bow:

Hi Greeni, the inboard pipe from the rad goes to the expansion tank

The other pipe goes to the side of the engine here

The pipe in question is the one that you can see the hose clip on

Here's another view of it Thumbs Up Cheers Ian
