[QUOTE="davieh3350, post: 7127820, member: 52292"] Was sent to find the water leak on the Nissan. The plastic bottom of the rad had been rubbing on the belly plate and worn through. It was only a single point it was leaking. The first attempt of a tek screw failed as it just pulled the thin plastic away. The second attempt with sealant putty suitable for fuel tanks and a whole host of other things, which is supposed to set under water and be able to stand high pressures... fell away as it didn’t stick to the slightly damp plastic... So I did what I did when I poked a hole in a cubie with a loader spike when I was trying to shift it with the old Nash one time... used a nut and bolt and a bit of rubber![ATTACH type="full"]906395[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]906396[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]906397[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]906398[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]906399[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]906400[/ATTACH] I was lucky that the hole was near the bottom hose hole so I could get a spanner in (a piece of paper between the head of the bolt and the spanner holds it on nicely) heat lamps aren’t good work lights, but they’re nice to lie beside.
