Driving back from work, lovely day here in Brum and the 6pot is howling away nicely!

Got to the front of my house and the coolant light came one the check panel, opened the bonnet and found that there is a leak in one of the pipes and is pi**ing out coolant at an alarming rate!

Now luckily the temp didn't creep above half away, but I'm at a loss as to what part is required, checked realoem and for the life of me can't work out which rubber pipe I need to order.

The pipe for my 325 is located by the hook of the engine nearest to the fan, it looks as though the fan has taken a liking to the pipe, its the one that goes over the distributor.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers Willnz much appreciated!

Now once I have replaced this hose, what steps do I take in topping up the coolant, anti-freeze to water and making sure that the system is bleed properly without blowing the head gasket?

Also if I'm replacing this hose should I replace any others at the same time?
