Ahhh HELP! As I was driving to school this morning I noticed a pool of coolant on the passenger side floor, it had dripped from under the center of the dash. I'll have a proper look when I get home anyone heard of this before?

More likely to be the electric heater valve. Take the access panel off to the right of the glovebox and have a look. (Panel above glovebox comes off first).
Easy enough to change, but don't lose the little square nuts. Tape them in place when you refit.
You do have a radiator pressure cap with a yellow bottom, don't you??!!

I remember reading somewhere about a yellow bottoms raditor cap. Do you ment the cap on the overflow tank because the radiator doesn't have a cap?
Vavle shouldn't be to hard as the car is stripped and there is no glove box

Yes. I wrote radiator pressure cap to avoid confusing people.Cyruz wrote:. Do you ment the cap on the overflow tank because the radiator doesn't have a cap?
Presurises the radiator, where ever it's actually fitted.
