I've found my pipes and plumbed it all in, using the original hoses. But after proudly showing the wife my handiwork I noticed that I haven't got a connection to the bottom of the expansion tank. On the Sierra it goes to the radiator but my clio rad has only 2 connections not three.

Any ideas ?

Cheers


Peter

Does anyone know where to buy the Henry Hoover tubing to make the coolant pipes?

Thanks Kev. I should have looked there in the first place. Do you know of an easy and cheap way of beading the ends? Thanks david
