Hello listers,
Just got back from a great little drive through twisty roads and hills in
the TR3B. I was going to stay longer, but something said to go home. Good
thing I did -- when I got there I found the top radiator hose issuing a
strong squirting stream out of its side. This is a new hose with all of
about 50 miles on it. I hope it's an isolated occurrence, because the spare
I'm about to put on came from same place. It's one of the cloth covered
original style hoses. Has anyone else had this happen to them so quickly?
I'd just as soon not name the vendor, because this is probably a very
isolated thing (although I'll change my mind if a lot of you say "me too"),
and I've been quite happy with virtually every thing I've gotten from them.
And if anyone has any great tips on how to replace this hose without
removing bonnet -- I'd be happy to hear. It doesn't appear to be easy (of
course).
Still a great drive!
