Went to fuel up car yestoday as not drove it in couple weeks , only went 6 miles to fuel station then after pulling out heard major squealing from front so got out to check only to see water pissing everywhere, checked under bonnet an found the heater hose from under dizzy has split open so had to bodge up with duck tape to get home althou i was more worried about the squealing which i take it the pads just went as they look very low. So got it home an have taken of hose an waiting for car shop to get some in then i noticed oil leak from rocker cover this car is doing my nut in now seems theres always more to mend .
On a brighter side i have removed rocker cover an resprayed to match new scheme an will get some gasket sealer before i refit and hope that cures it as only got new gasket set a while ago

rocker cover looks great buddy would look better with the lettering polished out

[paul72]

Yeah will do but just waiting for paint to dry a couple days first then ill give it ago

Rocker looks great.

That hose is a PITA - known for going soft and splitting. Depending where it's split, you may well just be able to cut the end a bit shorter and refit it.
