Hi Gents
Im looking for a bit of advice. My 05 plate s type had been going through a lot of engine coolant the past while. I had just recently put it through its MOT so thought while it was in the garage I would have them look in to this as well. The garage said they had pressure tested it and also checked the oil and couldn't find any problem . Last night on my way home from work the coolant low light came on, this was strange as I had just topped it up. I stopped at a service station to fill it with water, while doing this I felt my foot getting wet and discovered the water was spraying out of a tiny hole on the pipe that runs under the radiator behind the bumper. At least now I know what the problem has been. The pipe is only attached with two clips and a hose on either end so looks like an easy fix. Can I just get a piece of stainless steel pipe the same diameter and length to replace this part or do I need to get an original part. Any advice on this would be appreciated.
